From the Desk of...t J Chester Twenty-Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time October 14, 2018 Trust in God. Give yourself completely to God. Obey the Commandments. Today s Gospel provides us with a clear path to obtaining Eternal Life. This is found in Jesus discourse with the man who asked Jesus directly what one must do to inherit Eternal Life. Jesus answer was simple: Obey the Commandments, follow me, and donate your material possessions. The answer may be simple, but in reality, this may be a very difficult path to follow. Many struggle with obeying the commandments. Catholics are very fortunate to have the Sacrament of Reconciliation available. Make use of it as often as possible. Don t allow your venial sins to pile up. This may cause you to get into a bad habit and you may dismiss the sins as being unimportant. This will further distract and distance you from God. If you are suffering from a mortal sin, then you need the Sacrament of Reconciliation immediately. One of the worst fates that can happen to a Catholic is for one to die with an unrepentant and unconfessed mortal sin. Others are distracted and find it difficult to follow Jesus. Following Jesus requires more than attending Mass once a week. Following Jesus means involving Jesus in every part of your life and in following Jesus example. Jesus will never abandon us. Matthew 28:20 and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age. Why do we abandon him? Instead, listen to Saint Therese of Lisieux Miss no single opportunity of making some small sacrifice, here by a smiling look, there by a kindly word; always doing the smallest right and doing it all for love. Saint Therese showed us that we can follow Jesus with even the smallest task by doing it with love. Establish a personal relationship with Jesus. Lastly, how many of us would give-up our material possessions? Even the Apostles were astonished at Jesus words. They further asked him, who can be saved? Jesus answered them by stating that with God, all things are possible. This is the absolute truth, and after Jesus resurrection, the Holy Bible makes references to others in the church who followed Jesus. Acts 2:45 and they sold their possessions and goods and distributed them to all, as any had need. St. Francis of Assisi and many other Saints followed this example. Here at San Miguel Catholic Church, we have the Matthew 25 and Matthew 25 Outreach programs. Please continue to support these programs. Matthew 25: 34-40 Then the King will say to those at his right hand, Come, O blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me. I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me. Then the righteous will answer him, Lord, when did we see thee hungry and feed thee, or thirsty and give thee drink? And when did we see thee a stranger and welcome thee, or naked and clothe thee? And when did we see thee sick or in prison and visit thee? And the King will answer them, Truly I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these thy brethren, you did it to me. Then he will say to those at his left hand, Depart from me, you accursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels There is absolutely no doubt about Jesus words. Jesus is very clear on what must be done to inherit Eternal Life.
