Be Prepared

 

I subscribe to The Cavalier Chronicle and they carry a weekly homily on Page 7, and this one, from 7/31/24, is entitled, Let’s All Be Ready. I copy the homily below and then comment on it.

 

I am a Mavellonialist religiously, but as both a cultural Christian/Catholic, and a follower of Jesus, I have no sacred text books to quote from or read, so I rely heavily on the Bible, and its thinkers and writers, to bring up via homilies and other communication vehicles, problems and concerns that likely are universally applicable to any follower of any good deity trying to make out in this world in a way that pleases their divinity.

 

Homily: “The forecast stands: the Lord will return. The problem: no one knows when. That puts a premium on preparation and right living. No one wants to be ambushed. Make being in church this week part of your preparation for the Lord’s return.

 

The Son of Man is coming at an unexpected hour. Hebrews 11:1-3, 8-16.”

 

My response: We should always do our best to be prepared to have to stand before St. Peter to be judged, be it the end of time, or our personal death.
