There are some people who could hear you speak a thousand words, and still not understand you.
And there are others who will understand, without you even speaking a word.
In the 1st reading, the prophet Ezekiel did those actions that God told him to do.
Of course, the people watched him, since he was a prophet, and wondered what was the meaning of what he did.
And God did tell him what to say to the people. But for those who truly understood, they need not be told of what was the meaning.
Similarly, in the gospel parable, we need not wonder if there are other meanings beside the obvious that Jesus stated and it is about forgiveness.
Let us thank the Lord God for His mercy and compassion and let us count our blessings.
Then we won’t be counting the wrong that others did to us, and we will even be able to pray for them.
