Remember the Four Last Things.

THE FOUR LAST THINGS. 

"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.”

“Do you understand all these things?” They answered, “Yes.”

"And he replied, “Then every scribe who has been instructed in the Kingdom of heaven is like the head of a household who brings from his storeroom both the new and the old.” When Jesus finished these parables, he went away from there."

 (Matthew 13: 47 - 53).

Thursday August 3rd in 17th Week of Ordinary.

Our key Scripture for today deals with the most important subject of the Four Last Things. There are Four Last Things glaring at us: Death, Judgment, Heaven and Hell.

The Four Last Things are implied twice this week by Jesus in Matthew 13. The Church teaches clearly the Four Last Things in the Catechism of the Catholic Church: "The Last Judgment will occur when Christ returns. Only the Father knows the hour..." (CCC 1040).

Now that we know the truth about the Last Judgment, we will be blessed if we live accordingly. 

We honor the Immaculate Heart of Mary in August. 

The Memorare

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided.

Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me.

Amen.
