The Bible in a Year (with Fr. Mike Schmitz)

Chapters

Sins of omission, the failure to do good, play a significant role in determining salvation. Jesus emphasizes caring for the sick, imprisoned, hungry, and thirsty, highlighting the importance of corporal works of mercy. These actions distinguish those who enter heaven from those who don't.
  • Sins of omission are failures to do good.
  • Corporal works of mercy are crucial for salvation.
  • The distinction between those who go to heaven and those who go to hell lies in whether they performed good deeds or not.

Shownotes Transcript

Fr. Mike explains sins of omission, and how these are some of the biggest deciding factors of who goes to heaven and who goes to hell: whether or not we did good works God called us to. He also reminds us that not all of the New Testament parables are universally relevant, recalling the parable of the talents and the parable of the wise and foolish maidens. Today's readings are Matthew 25-26 and Proverbs 19:21-24.
