It isnt a matter of calculation, of doing a difficult job in order to be paid a wage. It is much more like working at a friendship in order to enjoy the other person s company more fully. It is more like learning Greek or German so that we can read some of the great poets and philosophers who wrote in those languages. The reward is organically connected to the activity, not some arbitrary pat on the back, otherwise unrelated to the work that was done.

If we consider the unblushing promises of reward and the staggering nature of the rewards promised in the Gospels, it would seem that Our Lord finds our desire not too strong, but too weak. We are half- hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us; we are like ignorant children who want to continue making mud pies in a slum because we cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a vacation at the sea.
