you may be able to escape all that is going to happen, and to stand before the Son of Man.”
Reflect:
The current liturgical year ends today; tomorrow begins a new year. The final messages are very
significant in any communication. In today’s readings, we have words of caution and hope. “Be
on your guard… Watch at all times and pray” are the words of caution. They ask us to be alert to
the signs of the times and remain faithful. For those who remain so alert, the words of Christ –
“I am coming soon” – are delightful and welcome; for, on his coming, they will find themselves
citizens of the “new heavens and the new earth” wherein the light of God will envelope them
always. They will drink from the rivers of life and eat of the tree of life. Hence, with John, they
will excitedly respond to Jesus’ words, saying, “Amen. Come, Lord Jesus” - Maranâ thâ.
(Rev. 22:20).
