Gospel
Matthew
13:47-53

Jesus said to the disciples:
“The Kingdom of heaven is like a net thrown into the sea,
which collects fish of every kind.
When it is full they haul it ashore
and sit down to put what is good into buckets.
What is bad they throw away.
Thus it will be at the end of the age.
The angels will go out and separate the wicked from the righteous
and throw them into the fiery furnace,
where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth.”

“Do you understand all these things?”
They answered, “Yes.”
And he replied,
“Then every scribe who has been instructed in the Kingdom of heaven
is like the head of a household who brings from his storeroom
both the new and the old.”
When Jesus finished these parables, he went away from there.

Think:
"God does not measure our perfection by the many things we do for Him, but by how we do them."
- St. Francis de Sales

Pray:
God of love, help me to see You in them. And then animate me to act as if I truly believe that You are real. Because I do.

Act:
This is your one life, your one chance to live all in for Him. There are countless opportunities every day, wherever you live, to throw yourself headlong into His arms and then to move with Him throughout the world, doing the work He has planned for you. Look to those plans --His plans--this week.

How can we pray for you?
