[Sundaycommunity] People Progress for November 22

[joan pennings]

 Just wondering.
If the Kingdom of God is here and now how can Jesus say, "My Kingdom is not of this world?"I think that this world for some people is a living hell and the only way to survive it is not to re act, to keep one 's attention on the state of meditation.I think that it serves the patriarchy very well  to tell us that we are sinners (and not Blessed 0nes as Matthew Fox has it), wretches, etc. 
I see myself as an eternal spiritual being who has chosen to be mortal for a short time and it sure feels like hell  at times and it appears to be  getting worse because most of us  do not know what we are doing. And for those Jesus asked his Father for forgiveness. He never asked for any of us to be thrown out, not even the murderer on the cross. Yes, we have to learn from our mistakes and live the consequences and that is our own doing. There is no force that throws us out. How many of us realize this?

 My take on it is that the Kindom of God is here and now. When we tend to the poor, the hungry, the imprisoned or the sick etc. we enter into a special joy, a new family of sorts, a love that is beyond our understanding,  something that is not available to us when we only think of ourselves. Blessings, Catherine

Hi, Tedd Dillon.  I agree with your focus, which is our Christian focus, on serving The Common Good and especially His poor.
Here is my contribution to it.________
THE BIG ELEPHANT IN OUR ROOM
Once again, in this Sunday's Gospel, someone, here a lot of "goats", are going into "eternal fire", into "eternal punishment".
And will anyone here acknowledge that?
Oct. 4th:  wretches "put to a miserable death" when the Landlord returns.Oct. 11th:  the man without a wedding garment "thrown into the outer darkness".Nov. 8th:  the door being shut on the foolish bridesmaids with a refusal to reopen.Nov. 15th:  he who hid his talent out of fear thrown into the outer darkness.
We must embrace the Father and Jesus Christ in all Their attributes.
Yes, Jesus is Love beyond our greatest imagining.  Yes, the same with His Mercy.
But we are not allowed to "cherry-pick".
He is also Undeniable Severity in pursuit of the Perfect Justice that He implements on our dying days.
"Oh my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of Hell. Lead all souls to Heaven, especially those in most need of Thy Mercy."
But those who persist in Evil, n/w all the efforts He makes to call them back to Him, far outworking the Devil, MUST be excluded from Heaven for all eternity, or what kind of Heaven would it be?
