Gospel
Matthew 13:47-53
The fishermen collect the good fish and throw away those that are no use
Jesus said to the crowds: ‘The kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet cast into the sea that brings in a haul of all kinds. When it is full, the fishermen haul it ashore; then, sitting down, they collect the good ones in a basket and throw away those that are no use. This is how it will be at the end of time: the angels will appear and separate the wicked from the just to throw them into the blazing furnace where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.
‘Have you understood all this?’ They said, ‘Yes.’ And he said to them, ‘Well then, every scribe who becomes a disciple of the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who brings out from his storeroom things both new and old.’
Reflection
As Christ continues to describe who gets to heaven he shared the story of the fisherman who goes and catches fish. Both the good and the bad fish are caught. The good are kept and the bad are thrown away. One day all of us whether good or bad we will die. The question is where would you like to be after you die.
Let us pray
Lord Jesus life is about making choices. We can choose to be good or bad. Guide us oh Lord to make the right choice.
Amen
