 JANUARY 14 Our Place in God's Kingdom |
PRAYER. May I, O Lord, hear You tell me to take my place with Your Angels and Saints in heaven. |
|
OUR Lord solemnly declares that the
high places of His Kingdom are not His
to give. Who then are the heirs for
whom the Kingdom is prepared?
He tells us expressly: those who fed the hungry and thirsty, lodged the stranger, clothed the naked, visited the sick, came to the prisoners, for His sake. To whom is it that He will say, "Enter into the joy of your Lord"?-to those whom He can praise as "good and faithful servants" (Mt 25:21). |
