LISTEN | Morning Prayer - August 03, 2023 | Seventeenth Week in Ordinary Time
"The Kingdom of heaven is like a net which was thrown into the sea and gathered fish of every kind; when it was full, men drew it ashore and sat down and sorted the good into vessels but threw away the bad." - Matthew 13: 47-48
Jesus is reminding us through the parable above that while there is time, let us seek and practice righteousness. It may be difficult to “seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness” due to negative responses of some people but let us all remember that the liberty we have while on earth is limited and temporary whereas the peace and joy that we will enjoy in the Kingdom of God is eternal. Indeed, investing in the Kingdom is priceless and it’s forthcoming is worth the wait.
