Religious readings feature Psalm 145 and the Parable of the Workers

Religious texts and liturgical readings include Psalm 145 and the Gospel of Matthew, specifically the Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard.

Psalm 145 is a hymn of praise describing the greatness, majesty, and mercy of the Lord, noting that He is near to all who call upon Him sincerely. The text emphasizes God's justice, kindness, and His role in sustaining all living things.

The Gospel passage from Matthew 20 recounts the parable of a landowner who hires laborers at different times throughout the day. Despite varying hours worked, the landowner pays each worker the same wage, leading to grievances from those who worked the entire day. The parable serves to illustrate the nature of the kingdom of heaven.
