Curiosity or care to change?

WORD 2day: Tuesday, 34th week in Ordinary time

November 22, 2022: Revelation 14: 14-19 ; Luke 21: 5-11

When will these things happen? We are more interested in knowing when certain things will happen and curious about predictions and premonitions, than understanding what is the right thing to be done and make the right moves in life at the right time. Curiosity, is denoted as one of the most prominent spiritual enemies of growth, because knowing for the sake of knowing makes us more infantile than mature. What does it matter knowing, when it does not really affect my life towards a positive and mature transformation?

Mistakenly, and sometimes lazily, we postpone the necessary and crucial transformations in life for an opportune time. At times that opportune moment never comes or it gets too late by the time they come by. The month of November insists on the urgency that is involved in personal conversion and community dedication to growth and maturity in faith. And specially these days leading us to the season of advent, give us a better understanding of the end time spirituality that we are called to live in these times.

Mindful of the short time that we have, we have a calling to live: live our lives to the full, a life worthy of the Lord who has given us the gift of this life!
