Alleluia: Acts 16:14b
Gospel: Matthew 13:47-53

God calls us by name to get into the net which is the Church. But we cannot do so by simply floating into it. The Church is the visible sign of God's leadership and guidance in our lives. We must live life with sincerity, compassion, and truth. God calls us to live in righteousness and not just to appear to be caught in the net.

We must prepare ourselves for when the Lord comes to sort out the hearts of men. When that time comes, hopefully, the Lord will find us faithful inside and out. That sorting out is the Final Judgment, but it also points to a personal invitation to reflect on our life today.

Let us examine our thoughts and intentions honestly. What must be kept and what must be cast away? We reflect on it, that we may be found faithful when He draws in His net.
