## Resource

This reflection focuses on evangelization and the spiritual readiness required for the Kingdom of Heaven. Drawing on the Gospel of Matthew, the homily emphasizes that God's judgment is approaching and urges believers to prepare with the same intensity as students preparing for a professional exam. I instruct the faithful to perform spiritual works of mercy, such as healing "sick souls" through forgiveness and the sacraments. Central to this mission is the practice of detachment from material possessions, which ensures that nothing hinders one's ability to spread the faith. Additionally, the piece highlights the importance of inner peace and generosity, noting that we must freely share the gifts we have received from God. Ultimately, the message serves as a call for all people to actively participate in the church's mission while remaining obedient to its teachings.
