YOU KNOW HOW TO INTERPRET THE APPEARANCE OF THE EARTH AND THE SKY; WHY DO YOU NOT KNOW HOW TO INTERPRET THE PRESENT TIME? LK 12:54-59
Humbly submit your will to God (Thy Will be done) and consecrate yourself to the Sacred Heart of Jesus through Mary and Joseph.
Prayer Prompt before reading LK 12:54-59: Come, Holy Spirit, teach me how to pray, interpret the Scriptures for me so that I may know the Truth about who God the Father and God the Son are so that I may know who I am.
Jesus warned us through the parable of the faithful servant that, “we do not know the day or the hour the master will return, be ready”. Today, He is telling us to live with the end in mind by living each day recognizing how God is working here and now. God is present all of the time.
Jesus was present to the people then and He is present to us now (He is closer to us now than he was back then, He made it so that we can put Him in us with the Eucharist; meditate on that!). The Holy Spirit is with us to guide us until Christ returns. The first installment of our salvation is the Holy Spirit!
To be prepared for the end, we must live each day recognizing the gifts God has given us, worship Him in praise and thanksgiving in adoration, receive Him and be transformed, then go and be a servant in our vocation, our call. Jesus teaches us today that if we are smart enough to read the signs of the weather and the earth then we need to recognize what Christ revealed to us for salvation. We have everything we need to be holy and gain salvation. The Divine became Human so the human can become divine. God’s grace and Christ’s blood are enough.
Young people are learning difficult math, science, and technology in GTT, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math). With guidance, young people can understand the Scriptures and reflect on them. This is the time in our lives to befriend Jesus and start establishing a friendship with Him in a daily intentional habit of prayer. Jesus wants us to know that we can understand how to be holy at every age. May we believe. May we put forth an even greater effort to practice our spiritual life than we do our academics and sports.
Today’s challenge: Strive for holiness no matter what age you are. Be holy, be happy!
Be a servant, be a saint today!
