Death
Often fill your mind with thoughts
of the great gentleness and mercy
with which God our Saviour welcomes
souls at death, if they have spent
their lives in trusting him, and
striven to love and serve him. Do
your utmost to arouse in yourself
a love of heaven and the life of
the blessed so you will weaken your
dread of parting from this mortal
and fleeting life.

Home Alone
Fr Tom Cahill
If there are little green men out
them why haven’t I seen any
sign of them? They could be big
instead of small and blue instead
of green, like the Na’vi on
Pandora in the sci-fi film Avator.
Size and colour don’t matter.
What does mater is that to date
we seem to be the only intelligent
life form on this or any neck of
the universe. According to recent
scientific investigations complex
life is rare even in our own galaxy
and probably even rarer in other
parts of the universe. Like it or
not, it seems we’re home alone.
That’s a scary scenario for
some – and would be for all
did God not exist. His word in today’s
First Reading [Wis 11: 22-12:2 expands
our mind . It asks us to think big,
to embrace the universe and to allow
the inevitable feeling of wonder
to work its magic in our spirit.
It tells us that God hates nothing
that he has made. What exists is
here because he wants it here. As
were still relatively new top the
universe we're still finding these
things out. Therefore, an open mind
is essential both towards the little
green men and God alike.
The crowd ion today’s Gospel
[Luke 19:1-10] don’t have
an open mind towards Jesus eating
with Zacchaeus, a tax collector
and, in their eyes, a sinner. Because
of that, they miss out on an important
truth: Jesus comes to seek out and
save the lost.
What truths do we need to open our
minds to so as not to lose out?
