“The kingdom of heaven is like a net thrown into the sea…” (Mt 13:47–48)

The net does not discriminate. All kinds of fish get caught in it. This is also true for the Church and the world: good and less good, holier and more flawed, sincere and hypocritical people live together in it.

However, we often want to discriminate. We judge quickly, label, decide who is worthy and who is not.

But Jesus says: the final separation is not our task. It belongs to God. Our mission is not to be judges, but to remain faithful.

However, there is a question we must ask ourselves: what kind of fish am I in the net? It is not important what others think or say about us, but whether God finds my life valuable.

The kingdom of heaven is open to everyone. And one day, it will not be our words, but our life, our whole life that will matter… Therefore, let us not examine others, but rather our own lives: am I worthless, or do I belong to the good?…
