Join Brother Edward Van Merrienboer from St. Vincent Ferrer Priory in River Forest, Illinois, for today's powerful reflection on Jesus' parable of the net. Starting with a Dutch family story about "de rekening" (the reckoning/the check), discover how the final judgment is not just about personal salvation, but about God's promise to right all wrongs and bring justice to a broken world.
📖 Today's Message: Jesus tells us the Kingdom of God is like fishermen sorting good fish from bad. When we witness cruelty, war, and injustice that we're powerless to fix, this parable offers profound hope: God will correct these situations. The final judgment isn't just personal - it's God's promise that injustice will be rectified and exploitation will be punished.
