19th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Dan 7:9-10,13-14; 2 Per 1: 16-19; Lk 9:28-36
One of the fundamental calls of a typical Christian is the call to be ready. Not merely from the Early Christian Community, but right from the person of Jesus himself, this call has been always strong - to be Ready.
How can we understand this being ready? We look at it as a call to be...
Ruthlessly Responsible: responding with our best even in the smallest of things that we are entrusted with from the Lord.
Endlessly Enthusiastic: never losing the spirit and the joy with which everyone of our self offering to the Lord begins.
Absolutely Accountable: being so diligent with all the resources the Lord had put at our disposal, personal and common!
Decidedly Determined: never giving into despair in the face of any issue that can arise, making it a positive decision for life
Yearning for the coming of the Lord and not afraid of it; rejoicing at the prospect of meeting the Lord instead of fearing the moment.
Are we READY?
