Gospel
Luke 21:25-28,34-36
That day will be sprung on you suddenly, like a trap
Jesus said to his disciples: ‘There will be signs in the sun and moon and stars; on earth nations in agony, bewildered by the clamour of the ocean and its waves; men dying of fear as they await what menaces the world, for the powers of heaven will be shaken. And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. When these things begin to take place, stand erect, hold your heads high, because your liberation is near at hand.
‘Watch yourselves, or your hearts will be coarsened with debauchery and drunkenness and the cares of life, and that day will be sprung on you suddenly, like a trap. For it will come down on every living man on the face of the earth. Stay awake, praying at all times for the strength to survive all that is going to happen, and to stand with confidence before the Son of Man.’
Reflection
When Christ came to this world he performed many miracles as sign he was son of God. The people however wanted more because they wanted to elevate him as king of this world . Unfortunately his kingdom is not a kingdom of this world but another world with eternal life. His message is not to follow the way of the world but a message of love and mercy? If you see your brother or sister down and in trouble would you show a little kindness ?
Let us pray
Lord Jesus may our life do not conform to the way of the world but full of love and mercy.
Amen
