Imagine that you are making application for heaven.
What would you list as your qualifications?
 
Everything good I have ever done or had came from God, as He gave me the grace to do or have it all. Therefore I am truly nothing, and He is everything.

I rely utterly on the Passion of the Lord. Oh Jesus, I trust in you. Have mercy on me, a sinner.
 
I have no qualifications or right.

I am entirely dependent on the Mercy of God.

I suppose my application would simply say, “none.” But my references would be impeccable… Jesus Christ.
 
I am truly one of the sinners whom Jesus came to save and I hereby apply for His Loving Mercy in full though I do not deserve it.

I have none, except that I have been baptized and that hardly counts as a qualification in the sense of something I have done to deserve heaven. None of us “qualifies” for heaven, thank goodness we have Jesus to make up this lack for us and bring us in under his good graces, and thank goodness he gave us the Church to bring us into that grace.
 
John 6:37.

“All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away.”

There are no qualifications for heaven…You cannot earn God or Heaven. If you choose heaven, you can be there, to some degree, right now, in this life. Just Love, be grateful for the gift of this life and do not concern yourself with what comes next - live in the present.
