If we want to bear good fruits and be worthy of entering the gates of Heaven, then we need to sow justice in our lives. We need to make sure we give God what is rightfully His and treat others as we would want to be treated. Living piously is the only way to prepare our souls for the harvest. It is only by uprooting the weeds or sin and clearing the stones of stubbornness that we can make ourselves ready to live life abundantly and produce a thousand-fold the graces God has given us.
Do we seek to be just with all people, even those who are strangers and enemies? Do we treat others as Jesus would treat them? Are we willing to make the sacrifices that are necessary in order to bear good fruits?
O Lord, sow in us your justice so we might reap the fruit of piety.
Amen.
