St. Joseph Parish Family Kingston—Plympton
From Our Pastor
There are a lot of words that describe the Bible. The Bible is beautiful, it is profound, it is moving, it is inspirational. All of these words fit, but there is one other word that comes to mind. Scary. It isn’t a word that I would use a lot, but at times it is appropriate. Scary is the best word to describe what I think is one of the most important parts the New Testament. In twenty-fifth chapter of Matthew’s gospel, we read the powerful parable of the last judgement.
In Matthew 25 Jesus tells this parable to those who have made the choice to be his followers. He tells these disciples that, at the end of time, they will be judged on how well they have answered Jesus’ call to be his followers. We know this story well. Jesus separates the disciples into two groups: The Sheep and the Goats. The Sheep go off to everlasting life, and here is the scary part, the goats off to everlasting punishment. And why do the goats get consigned to everlasting separation from God? It isn’t because of what they did. We are not given a list of the terrible sins that they have committed. We are told that it is what these folks did not do that is the reason for their damnation. They didn’t feed the hungry, clothe the naked, welcome the stranger, or visit the sick and imprisoned. It is Jesus telling us that Disciples aren’t called to be people who just avoid doing bad things; Disciples are those people who go into the world and actively try to do good.
I mention this parable today because I want to continue my writing about the three great spiritual disciplines of Lent. I have written about prayer and fasting. Matthew 25 is a great way to speak about the third discipline, Almsgiving. We give alms, that is, we give of our time, treasure, and talent, because it helps us to live the life of discipleship. As Disciples, we are asked to live a very active life in the world. We have the responsibility to avoid evil, but as the parable of the Last Judgement reminds us, that is only half of our job. Disciples actively do good. Disciples feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, clothe the naked, welcome the stranger, visit the sick and imprisoned, and so much more. Almsgiving allows us to fulfill the Great Commandment of loving our God and our neighbor.
May God continue to bless you during this Lenten season, by works of Prayer, Fasting, and Almsgiving may you be renewed in your life of Discipleship.
God Bless, Fr. Jack
