Homily for the Monday of the First Week of Lent

The final judgement is the end of human history and the beginning of the eternal state. There will come a time that the Messiah will gather all the people in the world and separate each of them from who will be rewarded in heaven and who will be tormented in hell. While living here on earth we should do our best to fulfill our mission to God and that is to be a good and loving brother or sister to our fellowmen. 

As God’s children, He expects us to help everyone around us, especially the poor ones, because in our Lord’s eyes we may be rich or poor, but we are all equal. Our Lord also expects us to be humble and generous to everyone, even to people who did bad things to us. We should be patient, understanding, and learn how to forgive those kind of people. In the end all people will die and we should put in mind that what we are doing here on earth we should do it not just because we want to enter heaven, but because we are willing to do that for the people around us and for God.
