Exodus 19:1-2,9-11,16-20, Canticle Daniel 3:52-56, Matt 13:10-17

Anyone who has will be given more

The New Jerusalem Bible (footnote Mt 13d) explains this “for those of good will what they have learned from the old covenant will be added to and perfected by the new. The ill-disposed will lose even what they have…” So good will is everything, and opens me up to God’s life. I fix my will on God and God’s goodness, and everything I really need will be mine.
