ReflectionIt is easy to go through life asking ourselves, “What is the least I can do and still get by?” If you only try to do the minimum, this Gospel and First Reading should scare you! The minimum will not get you into heaven. Notice that the rich man wasn’t a murderer or cruel. He didn’t slaughter millions like Hitler. He was just lazy. At the end of our lives, God will look at the disposition of our hearts. The Second Reading from Timothy presents a beautiful opposite disposi-tion to laziness. He encourages us to actively pursue and strive for holiness because we are called to much more than laziness. Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI is often quoted as saying: “The world promises you comfort. But you were not made for comfort. You were made for greatness.” This week let us strive to do the maximum for others.

TActionThe Second Reading from Timothy listed qualities to strive for as Christians. List the following in your journal: righteousness, devotion, faith, love, patience, and gentleness. Picture what “doing the maximum” would be for each quality. Then, ask yourself how you can live out each quality more fully right now. Think about the kind of person you want to become. Will you show greater devotion in your studies by striving to be an excellent student? Or practicing heroic gentleness toward your siblings when they annoy you? Don’t settle for comfort — dream big!

“Let the Church always be a place of mercy and hope where everyone is

welcomed, loved, and forgiven.”

—Pope Francis
