Why does Jesus make concrete acts of mercy the ultimate measure of our eternal salvation in Matthew 25, and what separates authentic Christian charity from mere social work? On The Son Rise Morning Show, host Anna Mitchell welcomes back Norbertine priest and author Fr. Sebastian Walshe to explore Heart of the Gospel: How the Beatitudes Show Us God’s Plan for Happiness. Examining the upcoming Feast of Christ the King Gospel reading (Matthew 25:31–46), Fr. Walshe explains why Christ’s Kingdom is governed by an interior law of grace that must bear fruit in both the corporal and spiritual works of mercy. Drawing on St. John’s first epistle, the Book of Tobit, and St. Teresa of Calcutta’s insistence on serving Jesus in "the distressing disguise of the poor," he unpacks how loving our neighbor for God's sake conforms our hearts to the image of Christ.
