Solemnity of All Saints
Matthew 5:12
Rejoice and be
glad, for your reward will be great in heaven.
We always ask for
rewards, and yet when we got it, we always ask for more. We were never contented, always asking for
more. But we never know, for tomorrow we
would all be dead… died miserably because we failed to recognize the true
reward we should long for.
There is only one reward that we should
aspire for, a reward that will not perish, a reward that will be forever, a
reward of eternal life with God in Heaven.
And it should be the source of all our joy, of all our longing, of all
our sufferings here on earth.
How are you preparing your life so you may
get this great reward in Heaven? Or are
you even preparing at all?
My friend, let us set aside whatever
worldly aspirations we have today, if that is taking our mind, heart and spirit
away from the Lord. Aspire for that
great reward, for that is the only reward that could give us true joy and
gladness.
Let us pray +
Oh Lord, wipe away every tear in my eyes,
and there shall be no more crying, mourning and pain. Make our hearts yearn for that great reward
in Heaven as you promised. For we shall live through and for Your son, Jesus,
who is the resurrection and the life.
Amen +
Lord, this is the people that longs to see your face.
