Be open to heavenly realities

Tuesday of week 20 in Ordinary Time 

Matthew 19:23-30

The world today might be turning too secular, i.e., to engrossed with the world's affairs.  Would we still be sensitive to have a spiritual experience like Gideon?

In the gospel, Jesus explained another spiritual reality, heaven.  With people's preoccupation with worldly affairs, heaven seems to go farther away.

He offers a possibility for opening our world to heaven:

First, faith - faith opens us to invisible realities, the reality that God exists, and our reliance on him for our lives;

Second, offering - offering is of great importance to the world of faith, knowing that our material things come from God and when we offer, we think solely of Him;

Third, service - serving God cannot be a waster of time; rather, the times we spend our lives serving God may be our ticket to heaven.

Faith, offering, and service are added components in opening our world to God.
