He changed his mind and went.

“A man had two sons. He came to the first and said, ‘Son, go out and work in the vineyard today.’ The son said in reply, ‘I will not,’ but afterwards he changed his mind and went.” (MT 21: 28-29)

How grateful we should be for our ability to “change our mind.” We can start a difficult conversation or argument with a spouse, and in one moment, we can say—I am sorry and change the whole situation immediately. It is good to remember that there is always time to reflect, to convert, to be better, and to love more.  

“Come, O Lord, do not delay; forgive the sins of your people.” (Gospel Acclamation)
