Homily for the Memorial of St. Ignatius of Loyola

One of the realities of life on earth is that, throughout our lives, we encounter both good and bad people, as well as virtue and vice. This reality can sometimes be challenging to accept, and we may wonder why God allows it.

Jesus illustrates a shared experience among the people by comparing the act of bringing a full net of fish ashore and separating the good fish from the bad to the work of angels who will do the same at the end of time.

Let us pray for patience and hope, trusting that God will separate the good from the bad when that time comes. In the face of life's challenges, let us strive to do everything we can to enter the Kingdom of God.
