Jesus also said in today's Gospel reading from Luke 12: "I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body but after that can do no more. I shall show you whom to fear. Be afraid of the one who after killing has the power to cast into Gehenna; yes, I tell you, be afraid of that one." This warning is unmistakable and right on. The critical question is: Do we take it seriously and act upon it? The soul is our most precious possession. God wants to save it with all his heart. If we don't even care to preserve it, aren't we being mindless and heartless?
