The Judgment
Mt. 25: 31-46
Br. Junel C. Pedroso, OP
No
one wants to be damned. We all hope for a better future and even a peaceful
afterlife. We can endure inconveniences or can make sacrifices if these would
entail achieving something better or more valuable. Thus, no one wants to be
eternally punished in hell. We all aspire for perpetual bliss in heaven.
In
our Gospel, we are reminded of God’s calling to be with Him in His heavenly
kingdom. He lays down the requirements for the admittance to His abode which is
to do good deeds on earth in every instance of our lives. Thus, God calls us to
a life of generosity and kindness, and challenges us to keep from selfish acts.
Today
we remember those people who had gone ahead of us. Let us pray that they may be
purged from their sins and enter God’s home. May we also prepare ourselves to
be worthy of entering God’s kingdom and partake from His heavenly banquet.
