Today is the memorial of Saint Alphonsus Liguori, Bishop and Doctor of the Church. In thje Gospel reading from Matthew 13, Jesus said to the disciples: “The Kingdom of heaven is like a net thrown into the sea, which collects fish of every kind. When it is full they haul it ashore and sit down to put what is good into buckets. What is bad they throw away. Thus it will be at the end of the age. The angels will go out and separate the wicked from the righteous and throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth.” We must be sure that we live a life good enough now to be considered righteous before the Lord later. Best yet, attain union with the Lord through the Holy Eucharist and you won't need to be concerned about how to live your life right with God anymore.
