Words to Live and Die By Reconciliation is an emphasis in the readings for today, the Twenty-Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time (Cycle C). This comes at a most appropriate time in our discussions about our journey back to our Father in Heaven. We know Jesus taught us that we must prepare for this journey. We must follow the Commandments, but if we stray we can and should seek forgiveness, reconciliation. Today we look for some words to live – and die – by. With the help of our Travel Book, the Bible, and our Travel Guide, the Holy Spirit, we have been seeking answers to three major questions: 1) What is Heaven like? 2) How do we prepare for it? 3) How do we get there? We have the example and influence of many people who have gone before us. Some saintly persons have expressed the notion that we should live each day as though it were our last. Then we have no need to change anything that we are doing when we are called to depart from this earth. We should live our lives just as Jesus instructed us to do, and remember that not only did He instruct us in words, but His actions spoke even louder. Let us turn once again to our Travel Book and look at some key phrases and words of wisdom we find there. There is no need to read through these quickly. Take time and meditate. Peace be with you Do not be afraid I am the way, the truth and the life; no one comes to the Father except through me Strive to enter (heaven) through the narrow gate You must be prepared for an hour you do not expect Guard against greed; one’s life does not consist of possessions Martha, you are anxious and worried about many things. There is need of only one thing Go and take the lowest place; he who humbles himself will be exalted Here is how to pray: Our Father in heaven … Ask and you will receive; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened We learn also from our parents and other family members. My own father was a very wise man. Even on his death bed, my father was guiding and teaching us his children. He said, “Even if only some of what we have been taught is true, I will be okay!” I take solace in the words of my father. I trust in the words of my Heavenly Father. I am not afraid. We are not alone.
