Today is the Memorial of St, Ignatius of Loyola. Here's the first part of the 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." So we'll either be kept or thrown away by God at the end. Knowing this, we can now confidently choose to remain righteous and reap our reward from the Lord later.
