It is important that we go down to the details, too. In today's 1st reading St. Paul did just that. He enumerated one by one the kind of people who can not gain access to the Kingdom of God. This is to emphasize the importance of guarding our morality. We can not settle for leniency nor can we become scrupulous. It pays to really be watchful and know its dos and don’ts. Anyway, it’s not just any kind of kingdom that we’ll get disinherited from it’s the Kingdom of God. Amen. Hallelujah!
1 Cor 6:1-11
Do you not know that the unjust will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators nor idolaters nor adulterers nor boy prostitutes nor sodomites nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor robbers will inherit the Kingdom of God...
NO matter who we are, what we do and where we are even in the couches as today's psalm tells us we can no longer have any excuse not to praise and give glory to God “as is where is”. Amen. Hallelujah!
Ps 149:1b-2, 3-4, 5-6a and
R. (see 4) The Lord takes delight in his people.
...let them sing for joy upon their couches; Let the high praises of God be in their throats. This is the glory of all his faithful. Alleluia.
Aside from the “as is where is’ option in giving praise and glory to God, today's gospel presents to us a different approach which is to go to the mountain to pray. There are various ways we can pray to God and we are left with less and less excuses not to pray.
Lk 6:12-19
Jesus departed to the mountain to pray, and he spent the night in prayer to God.
