St Elizabeth of Hungary
Fr. Philip Neri Powell, OP
St Dominic, NOLA
On
the day the Son of Man is revealed we will be doing what we always do
– shopping, eating, texting, cleaning house. If we are watching
rather than just seeing and listening
rather than merely hearing, we can watch his coming and listen to his
revelation. In fact, if while we are shopping and eating and texting
and cleaning house, if while we are doing the things we always do we
also attend to the Lord, pay attention to his Word and his presence,
we won't miss his coming again. Those left behind are the ones who
make their lives about the things they do and only about the things
they do. We were not created to shop, eat, text, and clean house. We
were created to love God and to serve Him. We were born again in
water and Spirit to grow in holiness and arrive at our perfection in
Christ. The disciples ask Jesus where this revelation of the Son of
Man will occur. He replies, “Where the body is, there also the
vultures will gather.” IOW, where there is smoke, there is fire. If
you attend to the Lord's presence and his Word, you will witness his
coming again. Watch and listen.

I needed to read this today! The lamps need oil and we feel in our soul that time is short.
