PARISHIONERS: She asked them, "If I sold my house and my car, had a big garage sale and gave all my Luz Villanueva, Eleanor Rieth Loretta Forthofer, Dorothy Tomshe money to the church, would that get me into Heaven?" "NO!" the children answered. Eva-Maria Peters, Marianne Rieth Amy White, Jarmila Kos "If I cleaned the church every day, mowed the yard, and kept everything neat and tidy, would that get me into Heaven?" Again, the answer was, "NO!" Kathleen Brezinski, Anna Joseph Patricia Welsh, Maebelle Fill Now she was smiling. Hey, they're getting it, she thought! Marty Lima, Elvira Quester "Well, then, if I was kind to animals and gave candy to all the children, and loved my husband, would that get me into Heaven?" she asked. Again, they all answered, "NO!" She was just bursting with pride for them. "Well," she continued, "then how can I get into Heaven?" A five-year-old boy shouted out, "YOU GOTTA BE DEAD!" FAMILY AND FRIENDS SERVING OUR COUNTRY: My brothers and sisters, this funny story illustrates that good works aren’t enough to “earn” a Charles Godles, Christopher place with the Blessed Trinity in Heaven. There is nothing we can “do” to get there. A place Barnhart, Jason Bender, Thomas in Heaven is a gratuitous gift of God, which he bestows through grace. If we are to Daley, Capt. Richard Robinson, accomplish good works, that should be done as a sign of our loving relationship with God. As Tom Fisher, Anthony Burns, Michael we grow closer to Christ, and thus act more like Him, we pray that in His infinite mercy, we Naughton, Allen Fish, 2nd Lt. Louis may be given a place with Him in His kingdom. Rios, Justin Callison, Quinn Rambo Capt. Shelby Stratton, Grant Rev. Edward J. Smith, Pastor Bartlett, Sgt. Tyler Corwin, John McGlynn, Cpl.
