26th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Lay hold of eternal life by keeping the

Commandments and pursuing noble goods.

The readings today are a challenge for all be-lievers to consider the eternal consequences of our actions. God, in His infinite love, both calls us to Himself and gives us the freedom to accept or reject His invitation. We can allow comfort to make us complacent, or we can pursue noble goods and be persuaded by the One who was raised from the dead.
