It is most unfortunate that many generations of Christians, for centuries, have viewed their lives on earth only as a sort of “waiting room” before entering eternal life. They concentrated almost exclusively on the salvation of “their soul” and the souls of others. The dimension of commitment to the promotion of temporal and human values as part of the earthly stage of God’s Kingdom was mostly neglected. God’s help and providence was all too easily called in to make up for one’s lack of vision, foresight, enterprise, determination . . . . God was expected to straighten up too many crooked lines; to complete too many unfinished projects. . . .

25th Sunday in Ordinary Time Reflection
THE CHALLENGE TO BUILD GOD’S KINGDOM
It seems an established fact that the majority of those who concentrate only on earthly values (those we call the “unbelievers”) are cleverer and more enterprising than those who profess to believe in God and in the after-life. The only plausible explanation for such a “contrast” is that many of the so-called “children of the light” (the believers) have failed to appreciate the relationship existing between this world and the world to come. They have failed to understand that the Kingdom of God is in the making already now, and that all Christian believers are the laborers sent by God to work in it and make it grow as fast as possible and as best as can be.
