“HONEY FROM THE ROCK”
Thursday, 25th August 2016,
Twenty First Week of Ordinary Time
1Cor 1:1-9;
Ps 144:2-7;
Mt 24:42-51
BE PREPARED!
The gospel today announces the coming not of a disaster but of salvation. It is announcing the coming of the Kingdom of God. However we are told that we do not know when it will come and its coming is compared to that of a thief. The principal weapon in the thief’s wicked undertaking is - surprise. So, in the coming of the Kingdom of God, there will be no warning bells. There can only be one weapon we can prepare for the coming of the Kingdom of God and that is - to make 'preparation' our way of life.
Prayer: Lord, by frequenting the sacraments, through my personal prayers, by walking in the light of the Word of God may I be ever prepared to receive You. Amen.
