Calling all pro-life advocates!

Twenty-First Sunday in Ordinary Time – 25 August 2019 Isaiah 66:18-21. Psalm 117:1, 2. Hebrews 12:5-7, 11-13. Luke 13:22-30.
Being saved. Here is the truth: many, and not just a few, will be saved. We believe it even though we do not always behave like we do believe! Jesus says today that the threshold to heaven is a narrow gate. Jesus says this passing through it is constant striving. Jesus says many will come from all directions and places to enter and dine at heaven’s table. How will I work hard to be human and Christian? How will I rely on God’s power and strength to enter the Kingdom of Heaven? How can I be like God and embrace everyone from everywhere?
Check the Corporal Works of Mercy. How can I give up some of my wants to give to someone in need? Corporal Works of Mercy ¨ Feed the hungry ¨ Give drink to the thirsty ¨ Shelter the homeless ¨ Clothe the naked ¨ Visit the sick ¨ Visit the prisoners ¨ Bury the dead ¨ Give alms to the poor ¨ Care of our Common Home ¨ Spiritual Works of Mercy ¨ Counseling the doubtful ¨ Instructing the ignorant ¨ Admonishing the sinner ¨ Comforting the sorrowful ¨ Forgiving injuries ¨ Bearing wrongs patiently ¨ Praying for the living and the dead ¨ Caring for our Common Home ¨
