“Come, you who are blessed by my Father; inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.”
This is the Alleluia verse for this Sunday, which leads to the Gospel that proclaims the best news ever- “For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him may have eternal life, and I shall raise him on the last day.” This is a prayer we hold dear for all the souls of the faithful departed, especially our loved ones. As for us… if we are informed that we’ve just received a great inheritance, many of us would think with great elation that we ‘won the jackpot.’ How can we devote ourselves to Jesus ever more fully; and live faithfully in the lasting joy that there is nothing more that we could possibly want than to inherit the Kingdom prepared for us.
