Today is the Memorial of Saint Alphonsus of Liguori. In the Gospel reading from Matthew 13, Jesus explained the parable of the weeds to his disciples. In the explanation, he mentioned what would take place at the end of the age: "The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will collect out of his Kingdom all who cause others to sin and all evildoers. They will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears ought to hear." Indeed we need to hear and pay most serious attention. The Lord challenges us like no one else. We must accept or reject what he tells us. Here, if we don't believe that he's speaking the truth, we risk losing our soul!
