Summary
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.

| 1:25.2 | can seem like so far away, but at the other perspective, we think, |

| 1:33.7 | More or less? |
| 1:34.5 | Anyways, oh gosh, we're reading Matthew chapter 25 and 26, just two chapters today. |
