"One of the plagues of our modern, technological society is the need
to have and remember passwords. The dreaded passwords are required to
log on to your computer, smartphone, social media accounts, banking
transactions, and any other online accounts you've established. An
article in Forbes Magazine estimates that, on average, each of us has 27
discrete passwords.
"But, how to remember all of those passwords? You've had that
struggle, right? There are various sites that allow you to keep all of
your passwords securely collected in one place, but to access those
sites, you need . . . a password!
"In the midst of this magic-wand world, I wonder if some folks think
that entry into heaven is just a matter of having the right password. . . ."
In a recent commentary, Bishop Thomas J. Tobin, of the Diocese of Providence
(RI), reflected on Jesus' words: 'Not everyone who says to me 'Lord, Lord' will enter the kingdom of
heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven' (Mt
7:21) and on the Father's will that we love God, love our neighbor, obey the Commandments, repent of sin, and
grow in holiness every day.
