If you are still out there.

My point. I’m not sure God gives us second chances. When He says, “Prepare your account”, I think He means it.

Mark

Your reflections bring light to the readings and how they transfer to our daily lives of faith.

Nothing is set in stone – reflect on what we have each been given and decide how you want to use it. selfishly? for the benefit of others? to secure your eternal future ( just like the dishonest servant tried to secure his own future) ? or lazily allow it to fritter away by doing nothing?
Pray, read scripture, go to mass, listen to the homily. Then take a stand.

I enjoy the history of the times of the readings and gospels.
Good bless

I must take the time to examine myself. There are ways that I am a true follower of Christ, but I am also a sinner. Lord, help me open my mind and swallow my pride so that I can see what more I need to do to follow your will more completely.

I love that you take each reading separately and bring light to it. In my case, I need way more light. Your explanations brought up more questions than answers…. but that is good. It keeps me searching and self examining. Thank you and God bless you all!

Also with your quote from Matthew 35.The “goats” are those who chose to put themselves there.
God gives everyone freedom of choice.
Whst you have said couldn’t be further from the Truth.
Rather turn to Luje23:34 where Jesus prays to His Father to forgive them.
There were also 2 criminals crucified with Him. To the PENITENT one he said
“I tell you the TRUTH today you will be with me in Paradise. The other one wouldn’t listen…
Jesus sacrificed himself on the Cross for YOUR SALVATION.
Put yourself with the Sheep, take heart and believe the Good News.

How I wished they could get this exposition of the parable of the “Prudent Steward”.
Fr. Lawrence, I welcome you into the group of Reflectors of A Catholic Moment. May the Good LORD embolden you, inspirit you to open up our minds to enable us live God-fearing lives
