FROM THE PEN OF FR. KEN
Entering the Kingdom of Heaven
I recall a family who had once told me that they were, “Bohemian Catholics.” The son stated to me that Bohemian Catholics do Church in their own way, e.g. they only go to Mass on the important Holy Days; among other things. There is no such designation.
Of course, God’s love is poured out upon all people, good and bad, and, for those who accept the love of God, that love forms their being. Otherwise, we are simply going through the motions with hollow words. Ongoing conversion and discipleship are a difficult challenge for us. It means that we must continue to say “Yes” to God’s call, to follow Jesus faithfully. We are to walk along the way of righteousness.
If we see our faith as a series of rules and regulations, then we have had the experience but missed the meaning. But when we recognize our faith as a relationship that is to be cultivated, then our “Yes” can be made in word and deed. To experience Christ is different for everyone. The best moments for those encounters are the Mass on Sunday, prayer and scripture, and works of charity. Then we are focused on worshiping in spirit and in truth. -
