Good News Reflection
21st Sunday in Ordinary Time
August 25, 2019
Pray: Lord, teach me how to love You with all my being,
and may that love help me to care for my brothers and
sisters and for myself, too, as You want me to do. Amen.
Isaiah 66:18-21
Ps 117:1, 2 (with Mark 16:15)
Hebrews 12:5-7, 11-13
Luke 13:22-30
The sign of heaven
This Sunday's scripture readings are signposts on the
road to the narrow gate at the entrance of heaven. Isaiah
says that God knows our works and our thoughts. To
help us sanctify our works and purify our thoughts, so
that we can see the fullness of the glory of God when we
die, he sets a sign among us. It is Jesus. His life -- how he
lived and how he died -- are a sign of how to enter heav-
en.
He says in the Gospel reading that many will attempt to
enter salvation who are not strong enough. Strong
enough for what?
Throughout the Gospel, Jesus gives us the answer to
that: We must be perfect in love. That does not mean
that mistakes and other imperfections will lock us out of
heaven. The key that opens the gate to heaven is love,
and if we throw love away, we throw that key away.
It's very unlikely, however, that we will ever completely
throw love away, even though we sin. But we are told to
be perfect in love. This means loving fully. Always. Un-
conditionally. Sacrificially. Radically.
To be perfect in love, we need to have the Lord's own
love. We need Jesus to dwell in us and reach others
through us. On our own, we cannot love fully, but when
we rely on God to give us his love for others, we have
perfect love.
To rely on God's love and feel confident in it, we have to
get rid of anything that blocks his love: unforgiveness,
vengeful attitudes, lingering resentments and cynicism,
and the apathetic ignoring of the needs of others.
The reading from Hebrews tells us not to disdain the
discipline of the Lord. No matter what causes our hard-
ships and trials or who's to blame, God uses them to per-
fect us in love. If we recognize these as opportunities to
grow in love -- if we seek God in them and let him
stretch our ability to love -- we become more like Jesus.
We make the path toward heaven straight, and what is
lame and disjointed in our spirituality is healed.
Questions for Personal Reflection:
Who in your life is difficult to love? (Don't forget to con-
sider the unloving behaviors you have toward yourself.)
How might God be using these hard-to-love people to
strengthen your ability to love more perfectly?
Questions for Family & Community Faith Sharing:
People who are difficult to love are saint-makers, be-
cause they give us opportunities to identify and over-
come (with God's help of course) the imperfections in
our ability to love. What happens if we give God permis-
sion to change us when we wish someone else would
change? How is this a key to heaven?

It's normal to grieve a pregnancy loss, including the loss of a child by abortion. It can form a hole in one's heart so deep that sometimes it seems nothing can fill the emptiness.
