Everyone is called to enter the kingdom. No one is excluded from this invitation. Jesus ushered in the kingdom with these words: ' The time is fulfilled,a nd the kingdom is at hand: repent, and believe in the gospel' (Mark 1: 14-15). Jesus came to do God's will and his will is that we are seved and have some share in his devine life. Jesus does not call the righteous, but sinners, and we are sinners. Herein lies our true dignity because God invites us to repentance and conversion. There is great joy in heaven when we repent and believe in the gospel. Ther is rejoicing in heaven when we seek out the Sacrament of Reconciliation. It is the time to receive God's mercy and forgiveness.
Lord God, your kingdom is near at hand, I repent and believe in the gospel.
