Beauty and the Beast and the Workers in the Vineyard

Wisdom from Damaris Zehner regarding Matthew 20:1-16:

Why is it that we identify ourselves with the hard workers and not with the latecomers?  Do we really think we have achieved enough through our efforts to dictate to God how he should reward everyone?  I wonder why it takes so long to occur to most of us that we are really the ones who deserve nothing and are rewarded with grace.

She then goes on to apply this same insight to a certain Disney movie.
