Gather the signs!
Friday, 32nd week in Ordinary Time
Wis 13:1-9; Lk 17: 26-37
There is a story going around in our city in the past week that coming Sunday the end of the world is bound to begin... with three days of darkness and other demonic signs. Though there is a curiosity that these horror stories evoke, they are merely manifestations of a spirituality that seeks some excitement all the time. Jesus is calling us to gather the signs from the experiences of ordinary day to day life...the lessons arising from the clashes caused by evil tendencies, cravings incited by selfishness, inhumanities provoked by senseless egoism, insensitivities and indifferences that make this world a worthless place to live in!
The call is to gather signs and understand the invitation from God. It would be unwise to remain deaf or blind to the messages that the Lord sends... let's remain awake and read those signs and channel our courses towards one united goal: the Reign of God here on earth.
