Humbly submit your will to God (Thy Will be done) and consecrate yourself to the Sacred Heart of Jesus through Mary and Joseph.
Jesus said to his disciples:
“Be sure of this:
if the master of the house had known the hour
when the thief was coming,
he would not have let his house be broken into.
You also must be prepared,
for at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come.”
Then Peter said,
“Lord, is this parable meant for us or for everyone?”
And the Lord replied,
“Who, then, is the faithful and prudent steward
whom the master will put in charge of his servants
to distribute the food allowance at the proper time?
Blessed is that servant whom his master on arrival finds doing so. Truly, I say to you, he will put him
in charge of all his property.
But if that servant says to himself,
‘My master is delayed in coming,’
and begins to beat the menservants and the maidservants,
to eat and drink and get drunk,
then that servant’s master will come
on an unexpected day and at an unknown hour
and will punish the servant severely
and assign him a place with the unfaithful.
That servant who knew his master’s will
but did not make preparations nor act in accord with his will
shall be beaten severely;
and the servant who was ignorant of his master’s will
but acted in a way deserving of a severe beating
shall be beaten only lightly.
Much will be required of the person entrusted with much,
and still more will be demanded of the person entrusted with more.” LK 12:39-48
Jesus mentions something very interesting today about judgment day. ”That servant who knew his master’s will but did not make preparations nor act in accord with his will shall be beaten severely.” For those souls who are educated in the ways of God and know the Scriptures, but choose to live their life against it will be punished. “The servant who was ignorant of his master’s will but acted in a way deserving of a severe beating shall be beaten only lightly.” If a person is not educated in God’s Will, then they will not receive as bad of a punishment.
Which one are you? Do you go to a Catholic school but just see your religion class as another subject? Is religion not for you because you think it makes you look weak? Christians are dying all over the world as martyrs for Christ. He died for all, they are dying for Him. I would say that is strong and tough. Is Mass on Sundays just going through the motions and another check off on the checklist, so you can get back to your life?
Our souls are searching for authentic relationships. Today, if you haven’t yet, start one with Jesus Christ by sitting in silence and talking to Him like you would text a friend. He died to have an encounter with you and be your best friend. St. Jerome says, “Ignorance of the Gospel is ignorance of Christ.” When is the last time you read the Bible and reflected on what God is trying to tell you? If our identity is wrapped up in the death and resurrection of Christ in our baptism, then we are called to be holy. This call requires much; it is our identity.
It is hard work to get to heaven. “Much will be required of the person entrusted with much, and still more will be demanded of the person entrusted with more.” You have been called, today RESPOND by opening your mind and heart to God’s Will. You will never be disappointed. Effort through your will with God’s grace increases holiness. He wants you to participate in your salvation. Get to know Christ intimately and imitate Him.
Today’s challenge: Prepare your soul for heaven by getting to know Jesus personally. Allow yourself to be transformed, so that no matter the day or the hour the master returns you will be ready.
Be a servant, become a saint!
#Christian YOLO
jesus sacfis him self for ar sins and he did not fite withthe soljers and e dint wat his aposo to go with him
We should never run away from God because He’s not doing what we want. If we run away and sin and stop believing in Him, we will be judged for that when the Second Coming happens, so we should never be unprepared and shouldn’t do things bad if we’re waiting for God to answer our prayers.
What reached out to me was, “Blessed is that servant whom his master on arrival finds doing so”. What this means to me is that God is always watching us, and if we want to have good lives and relationships with him we need to always stay loyal and faithful to him.
This Gospel today tells us that we should be prepared spiritually for the time of Jesus, the master of our earth, to come again to redeem us. We do not know when this will be or how it will take place so all we can do is trust in Jesus. Going to confession is a great way to prepare our hearts for the Lord.
I think Jesus is telling us to not be ignorant towards him and to pay attention to what he is telling us. I think he wants us to listen to the Gospels and how we need to pay attention more to what he is telling us when we are praying.
We do not know when the second coming will be. We should be ready and holy for when Jesus comes. We should prepare and be ready.
“You also must be prepared, for at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come.” In today’s gospel it tells us to be ready because we don’t know when the second coming is. This is why we should go to confession whenever we can because we want to have a clean slate when He comes. If when He comes and we are not ready we will not be able to spend eternity with Him.
Today’s scripture passage has a big meaning to it that many people may not realize. What I took from this was that He IS going to come back at some point and no one knows when except him. We have to be ready because he won ´ t tell us when hes coming. We first need to prepare our own soul then go forth and help others who may not know Him and need help finding a Savior. We ALL have to be ready because he is going to come back, no what ifs or when, hes going to. So, lets live in His glory every second as if it was the last because we just never know.
This scripture is trying to tell us that we do not know the day nor the hour our lord will come back to us. Jesus is saying if you are bad while the master is gone and you don’t know the day nor the hour he will punish by casting us down to hell but if we were good but did some bad stuff then we will be sent to heaven (purgatory). Our God triumphs over justice with his mercy he is a very merciful God he loves us so much.
We have been given the privilege and responsibility of knowing that God is real and that he is truly present in the mass and throughout our lives. We have someone to turn to and give our pains and joys to. Not everyone has that, which is why we, as Catholics, have to go and spread the word to those who don’t know, so that they too may be able to have someone to turn to and to talk to. Jesus calls us to a great responsibility but if we are faithful and follow his commandments, we can be in heaven with him.
Jesus is telling us to choose the right thing and use our conscience for good. The servant knows the master will be gone so he get drunk and beats the other servants. The master comes back and he gets punished. We need to do good when others are around and when we are alone because God sees everything and we will be judged for our actions.
In today’s reading ‘You also must be prepared” stuck out to me because people tell me this and I don’t always think of it the way I should. I think that if the Savoir came I wouldn’t be ready nobody is ready for something like that because none of us are perfect. But we can still strive to be as prepared as possible. And even if the savoir doesn’t come during my life time I can help other prepare if he does come during there life time.
Jesus could come at any time to take us to heaven. We have to always be ready because it may be thousands of years before he comes or it could be tomorrow. To be ready we have to give our life to Christ. Be open to God’s call, pray everyday and read scripture and reflect, and most importantly: talk to God and be with Him. no matter how many times we sin, we can pray and go to confession and we will be saved.
I think that no one really thinks that their time could be at any time, they are just caught up in the world and distractions that we put above God. I even do that i don’t think about that stuff really, and i know i should. But it’s so hard to break a habit, but i need to try more. God is coming at any moment and we all need to be ready for that.
We often treat religion class like it’s just another part of our daily routine. We go through the motions, and we don’t think much about it. This isn’t only for religion class, it’s for church too. It’s just another day of going to mass because our parents make us go or our school makes us go. Learning about Jesus Christ is a privilege. It is a privilege to go to a Catholic school. It’s a blessing that we are allowed to go to church every week to receive the Eucharist. Instead of going through the motions of our religion, we need to be able to indulge in a holy lifestyle. Instead of leaving church or religion class to go out and sin again, we should be growing in our faith.
I think Jesus is telling Peter to be ready for his return at the end of time. Also that he shall be the first head of the catholic church on earth so he needs to get everybody else ready as well.
The Gospel today talks about when you know the hour your house was going to be robbed you would stay up until that hour. At the same time your would also be ready and prepared. The Gospel also talks about servant who was trusted with distributing food then the master see that he did well then he trust him the property. The servant think the master will not come back so he get drunk and has a party with his friend then the master see’s that the servant did this stuff. The master punishes the servant severely.
We put time in with God and spend it with him he will do good deeds for us in return. It will help you find out who you are in God. Use your time for good not bad use every second, minute, hour with God he is the living King among kings.
Every Moment in our lives counts. God is always watching, all the time, and we need to praise God and do what is right. Not just when our parents take us to mass, or when we go to religion class, but we need to love God and do what is right all the time.
the gospel said that we should be prepared for the son of man to come. he wants us to be preapared so that way, when he comes, we will be ready. we should be holy always. we don´t know when he is coming, but he does. he wants us to be ready when he comes. we should always be holy.
I really like todays message. Showed me that we prepare our souls for Jesus by participating in mass, eating the eucharist, praying, and reading the bible. Really made me think, no matter whos watching I should always praise Jesus Christ.
”That servant who knew his master’s will but did not make preparations nor act in accord with his will shall be beaten severely.” For those souls who are educated in the ways of God and know the Scriptures, but choose to live their life against it will be punished. “The servant who was ignorant of his master’s will but acted in a way deserving of a severe beating shall be beaten only lightly.”
this struck me because If some one doesn’t know the will of Christ and goes against it, i dont think that they should be beaten because they should be educated instead.
today Jesus tells us about the second coming. he says this through a parable. like a master who knew when the thief was coming he would protect it. however we don’t know when the thief is coming so we should always be prepared .
even tho its hared to be catholic and you know that so does God but he loves us even tho we get beaten hared its because we need to feel some of the pian Jesus did and its only an ounce worth of the pian Jesus had to go through.
i really liked the part of it that went: if the master of the house had known the hour
when the thief was coming,
he would not have let his house be broken into.
You also must be prepared,
for at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come.”
I think this is telling us that you cannot blame someone if they did not know it was even happening.
We should always be ready for when Jesus comes back for judgement day. If you live against the word of God then you will be punished.But if you live the word of God he will show mercy towards you.
I think it means that we should treat Jesus how he treated us,an example would be dying for our faith and him as he did for us,we should not be afraid to show our Faith just because we think that we are above others and that we are too “Cool” for it,how can you be too “cool” To the most amazing Being ever created?
We need to be ready for the Lord and actually participate in what the Lord is telling us we go to Church just to go through the motion and d not focus on whats really going on right in front of our eyes at the moment we go to religion class like its just another normal subject like math or Literature we never really truly appreciate what God is telling us at the moment and we need to be ready for whenever the Lord comes to see us.
This passage tells us we need to see the bigger things in the world that remind us of God and getting to heaven wont be easy so we need to keep our faith “Our souls are searching for an authentic relationship” meaning we haven’t fallen in love with Christ yet and doing so wont be so easy. tomorrow isn’t promised so make today happen.
The thing that stuck out to me was that we do not know when Jesus is coming back. We don’t know if he is going to come today or tomorrow. That is why we have to be prepared. You would not want to be at a bad spot with God and then the next day have him come down to earth. We are never promised a tomorrow that is why every chance we get we have to talk to Jesus. Jesus wants us to talk with him. He loves us so much and if you look around you, you can see God’s love in the little things in life. He does everything with a reason. Something I can’t understand because I can’t see the whole picture but I do know there is one that only God can see.
He is saying that we should not be afraid of what is happening. And that we should always believe in him.
Peter says “Lord, is this parible just for us or for everyone?” The Catholic faith is for everyone but you have to be brave and tough to stick with it. Just because you live Jesus dosn’t mean you are weak or not cool, look at the saints, all of them have died or would die for Jesus. That is the coolest and bravest thing I have ever heard.
¨for at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come¨ this stuck out to me because it applys to us. We dont know when the second coming of Jesus will be, so we need to be prepared for it to happen as if it will happen tomorrow.
I think he is saying like his house is for everyone. The house is the church and he wants tou there but you have to christ like.
God wants us to know that no one is perfect and that you can’t ever be top notch. Every body sins and makes mistakes. He also wants us the be good stewards towards the Church towards each other wherever you are. He wants us to not get lazy ether. He wants us to work hard.
To me this means that we need to always be ready at all hours, be holy, and trust in the Lord.
What stuck out to me was that we must always be ready because we do no know when He will come. This means praying more and getting closer to God.
I think what God is trying to tell us is that we should be careful, because like it said in the reading “then that servant’s master will come
on an unexpected day and at an unknown hour.” That it means we don’t know when something might happen so we should always have our guard up and be careful.
Jesus said to his disciples: “Be sure of this: if the master of the house had known the hour when the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into. You also must be prepared, for at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come.
This is probably one of my all time favorites because I really like the message that it shows. It kinda makes me think of like we know Jesus is coming so why wait for him to show up to believe he is with us.
Jesus said to his disciples: “Be sure of this: if the master of the house had known the hour when the thief was coming,
he would not have let his house be broken into. You also must be prepared, for at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come.” This part really stuck out to me because its saying that we can not let our guards down because then its super easy for a thief to break into our house, so we need to be ready so just in case a thief comes we will be able to stop them. So we need to always be ready for the Lord. We do not know when the Lord will come so we must always be ready.
What stuck out to me is that if you know God’s will but live your life against it you will be punished severely. But if you didn’t know God’s will and didn’t follow it you will be lightly punished because you can’t follow God’s will without knowing it.
I feel like the scripture is telling me that what Jesus says in the reading today is that he will come back to this earth again and we have to be prepared for it. He says to be prepared for it we must do all the right things even when nobody is watching. Like doing the 10 commandments, the beatitudes and all the parables and other lessons he taught throughout his life.
What stuck out to me was that He died to have an encounter with you and be your best friend. Jesus knows everything about us but we do not know everything about him and we should try harder to get to know some of the things about him that we don’t know .
If you do not follow God or believe in him you will be put into the Unfaithful hands of somebody else, if you do follow him in his footsteps you will be a servant of God and live with peace but the Unfaithful goes with the Unknowing Master who follows the worst of men and lives behind the shadows of the 7 seven deadly sins. God will show no mercy to those who do not follow he will put them down where they belong and they will be left behind in the shadows of Gluttony, Pride, Greed, Lust, Sloth, Envy, and Wrath where they will corrupt the mind of those who choose the worst path and they will slowing make them what people hated most back in the bible, Leprosy. They will be corrupted into those people despite and hated they will be sent out like villagers they will not be forgiven unless they know what they did wrong and be filled of emotions for they have found out they have been casted away towards God.
This Reading is about how God is watching us through our whole lives and we must prepare. We must follow God’s will to get to heaven otherwise we will not be with him.
The lord is saying we don’t know when he will come again so we should always be prepared for when it is time so we can make it to eternal life with him. The Scripture Says if the master knew the time the Theif was coming he would not let himself be robbed. I think he is trying to tell us that if we knew when he was coming we would just prepare a few days before he came but he didn’t tell us so we have to prepare our whole life.
What stuck out to me was St. Jerome says, “Ignorance of the Gospel is ignorance of Christ.” We have been saying this all year but this reading has given it a new meaning to me. You have to really know the Scriptures and the Gospel, like really know it. You should always do everything right for God because he is our savior.
In the scripture for today, I feel like there was an important message. I feel like you have to do what God wants you to for him sometimes. Even when it ´ s hard or you don ´ t feel like doing it. You also have to protect yourself and your soul from evil. And when you commit certain sins you have to go confess them to God. Take time to be ready for Jesus.
Do you go to a Catholic school but just see your religion class as another subject?
because its not just another class it’s a class that helps us get closer to God this one class could change your life
”That servant who knew his master’s will but did not make preparations nor act in accord with his will shall be beaten severely.” to me this means ti the person who actualy takes the time to get to no jeseus will live in heavan for eternity. the person who decides to break away from jesus will have qonciquinses and be proven wrong. but who knows the persion who has fallen away could b e brought back and could be saved but it is unto us that “those who belive will live in eternity forever and ever those who fall away or those who do not believe will be loved and cherished but unrewarded but we shall never no what gods plan is nor who is going to heaven therefore that is gods desion and between the sinner and jesus. no sin you could ever commit will ever make god stopp loving you. as said from jesus
“i will always leave the 99 to find the one lost sheep and bring my son or daughter back to him
GOD IS LOVE! you are loved!
It is saying that we have to be prepared at all times for the Lord to come to us. He will come to us at unexpected times always. And we must be ready for when that happens. He might not always come when we ask but he does come and we do not know when that is but we must be prepared for it.
This passage is telling us that we need to be prepared for when He comes because we do not know when it will be. We need to always make time for God instead of being focused on other things and getting distracted from Him.
The Scripture is saying that you should always be ready for the Lord because you have no Idea when He will come to save us. Jesus is saying that if you knew the exact time that the Lord was coming you would prepare yourself while before you were just a sinful person but on that day you would prepare yourself for him.
We should always be faithful to God we never know what is going to happen.
what the scripture is telling me is that we should always prepare o for our homes to broken into and by “homes” i thing He means our hearts and the intruder is the devil. so we should prepare our hearts for it to be broken into when the devil tries to break in. our hearts should be locked when we arent “home” and by that i mean church and when we are with God.
When we are judged after we die we will look back and see all that we did we don’t know the time or place we will die so we must always be ready. if we sin we have to go to confession to make sure we have the best chance of going to heaven.
We must be prepared for the Lord to come. We never know when He will come to us so we must always be following His will and be ready to go to Heaven with Him. If we are doing bad acts, by the time He comes, we will be casted into hell and not be able to be with Him, or spend a long time in purgatory. However, if we are faithful to His will and follow Him through our whole lives, when He comes, we will be saved by Him and brought into Heaven.
“Lord, is this parable meant for us or for everyone?” This really stood out to me because I believe that even if you aren’t catholic and you don’t know so much about God this parable is meant for everyone. Don’t just be thinking oh it’s Religion class so I have to act a certain way. God knows the truth. Don’t just be thinking this parable is just for your class or family or friend group. It’s for everyone out there. I do believe sometimes we ask this question, so the answer to that is that this parable is meant for everyone.
this scripture means that we need to work hard so that we will be rewarded in heaven. a person can not do what ever they want and go against the 10 commandments and expect to be rewarded in the after life. but we must do Gods will so that we will be rewarded for obeying his rules.
if the master of the house had known the hour when the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into. You also must be prepared, for at an hour you do not expect, = the Son of Man will come.” i love this saying it reminds me of something Mr Gurtz said. if you die right now would you go to heaven. it really makes you think about all your sins. so i am wandering if you the person that is reading this dies right now are you going straight to heaven? if not go to confession and get your sins forgiven and the most important part is not re committing those sins. so ask yourself am i going to heaven?
I think that this Gospel just leads back to integrity. Integrity is doing the right thing when no one is looking. What you do when no one’s around shows who you truly are. And therefore, like the servant who misused his master’s trust, he showed that he was not an honest person. And he was treated accordingly. But the servant who continued to do what his master had asked, showed that he was a faithful, honest person. And therefore was treated like so. We need to be more like the honest servant. Faithful, patient, and honest to the end.
I think that this is saying that at any moment God can call our number and if we aren’t prepared, there will be consequences. God can call us at any time and I think that is something that this world doesn’t understand. We have to prepare ourselves and act like everyday is our last. That is why we need to do our morning and night prayers. Start and end the day with Jesus.
This gospel is telling us that we have to be prepared for the coming of Jesus and to not be frightened. Because if you followed Jesus path that he had for then you will live in heaven for eternity. And be what God created you for. The lord says everyone is the same in his eyes. So stop worshiping other things and other Gods and start following the one true God Jesus Christ.
This scripture is telling us that we never know when the lord is going to come. The day could be tomorrow or in an hour or 29 years. You never know, Peter is basically telling us to be prepared. So don’t wait to pray, don’t push God back because on the day you can not take back what you did.
Jesus says that we need to always be ready for him. We don’t know when he will come down to us but what He says is that we need to always be ready for the time. If we did know when he would come we would just sit around and do nothing. Since we don’t know when he will come we need to always be ready.
”That servant who knew his master’s will but did not make preparations nor act in accord with his will shall be beaten severely.”This stuck out to me because I think of it like mass. We have to cleanse our shelves before we receive Jesus because He is Holy and Sacred. But sometimes we forgot or just don’t care. “His will shall be beaten severely” We will be beaten with sin. Sin because we did not pay attention or just didn’t care about Him.
This is telling us that we don’t know when our lives might end. I think we often procrastinate, and say that “I’ll go to mass when I get older, I have time” when really no one knows when you will die exactly. I feel like life has gone by so fast for me, it feels like 5th grade was yesterday. Even if we do live until we are 90, we still only have a limited time to be here, a couple days go by and it’s a week then a month then a year, and it seems like it won’t end until it does! I could write paragraphs about this, but I could explain it in a sentence. We have the tiniest amount of time to live on earth, that’s why its so important to be prepared to die, if we choose Christ we will be full of joy for eternity, but if we decide to live without caring were we go, we would live without God forever! So live your life at this moment the best you can. Because you have a purpouse in life, to get to heaven. 🙂
the gospel said that we should be prepared for the son of man to come. he wants us to be preapared so that way, when he comes, we will be ready. we should be holy always.
“You also must be prepared” Jesus wants us to be prepared for his second coming. We don’t know when he is coming, so we always have to be ready, because we don’t know the day or the hour.
This gives us a lot of insight on the second coming of Jesus Christ. If we know when the some of man will return, we will only be holy around that time. But, since we do not know when He will return, we must always be holy.
I think this scripture is telling us to not ignore God. God is a quiet voice. It is hard for humans to stay silent and listen. Humans are always busy and loud, but in order to find peace with Jesus we have to be quiet and still and let the Holy Spirit work within us.
I think this scripture is telling us to always be ready for in the scripture it says we do not know the time when the Son of Man will come down to earth to save us yet again. We need to be ready for it could be at this moment He will come down too earth to save us. But no, look at what we do in our daily lives and Jesus has sent many signs to try to get us to believe in Him as He believes in us. But we don’t we just think oh that’s cool and walk away and never look back, and think to much of ourselves and having to be perfect in every way but no.
As Christians, we know that God will come. Since we do, we have to be prepared, because the “servant who knew his master’s will
but did not make preparations nor act in accord with his will shall be beaten severely.” Although we may not actually be beaten, we will be punished for feigning ignorance.
I think the Scripture is saying we have to be prepared for the second coming. We do not know when the second coming will be and we have to be ready. We are all expecting the second coming and we should be ready.
Today the scripture talks about how if you know God, the truth, then you should be practicing your faith regularly. If you do not you shall be punished. If you were to know about Jesus your whole life and not practice and grow closer in a relationship with God, a person who did not know the truth would have a better chance at going to heaven. We need to be grateful for the gift that we all have of going to a Catholic school and being able to grow closer to God everyday.
Jesus is telling us that since we know Him, we should put our life down for Him. Jesus doesn’t want us to ignore Him. “That servant who knew his master’s will but did not make preparations nor act in accord with his will shall be beaten severely;”. Like the quote said, Jesus knows that we know His will, yet do we act like we do?
This scripture is talking about how we just go to mass or religion class and we are there because we have to be there but that not what we were suposed to be doing we go to mass to receive Jesus and to let him talk to us and we go religion class to know more about Jesus and everyone else it´s telling us that we need to not think that these things are important because they are very important.
¨to eat and drink and get drunk,then that servant’s master will come on an unexpected day and at an unknown hour and will punish the servant severely and assign him a place with the unfaithful. That servant who knew his master’s will but did not make preparations nor act in accord with his will shall be beaten severely;¨ I think this is saying that if we wait and wait for God but don’t live our life’s for God we will suffer. Praying is something we need to take seriously.
“But if that servant says to himself, ‘My master is delayed in coming,’ and begins to beat the menservants and the maidservants, to eat and drink and get drunk, then that servant’s master will come on an unexpected day and at an unknown hour and will punish the servant severely” This phrase stuck out to me. I think Jesus is trying to tell us that if we knowingly defy Him in our everyday lives, we can’t pretend that we were following His instructions our whole life since He is all knowing. He knows what we do and don’t do when in regards to the commandments, and on Judgement Day, it will all be set straight and if we defy Him, then we will get punished in hell. So we need to always be true to God’s instructions and not lie to Him.
I think that this Gospel tells us that we should be prepared for Jesus to come. This means that we should be prepared and stay as Holy as we can so we can enter his kingdom.
I think the scripture is saying that we do not know when or how Jesus will return, but when He does we must be prepared for Him. I also think it means that if we repent now from our sins and go to Him we will not be punished as severely as our brothers and sisters who chose to be ignorant and stray away from Him.
“Be sure of this: if the master of the house had known the hour when the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into. You also must be prepared, for at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come.” What i am getting from this is that if you were to know when God is coming you would get prepared and wait for Him. But we don’t know when he is coming .
Jesus tells us that we can’t let God become just something we do because we “have to.” No. Jesus is a choice. A very prudent choice, a very good choice, but a choice nonetheless. We have to choose God. He won’t force himself in. He’s like a parent who tells you to clean your room, without telling you. He tells you to trust Him and let Him in. But he does so differently. So we have to be ready for the hour when he calls to his will.
We will never know when the Lord will come again. It could be in our sleep, it could be when we are awake, it could even be when we are going to school. God tells us to always be prepared. If you sin, don’t fret. He gave us confession so we can be ready for the Second Coming. Regular prayer to the Lord is what will get us to Heaven. God gave us something so simple to get to the biggest reward. Take prayer seriously so we can be ready for the Second Coming.
It is saying that we will never know when Jesus is coming again. That’s why we always have to be prepared and not to worry that He won’t accept us. He wants us to go to confession to be prepared when He does come again.

This means that Jesus will not always be with you
I think that no one really thinks that their time could be at any time, they are just caught up in the world and distractions that we put above God. I even do that i don’t think about that stuff really, and i know i should. But it’s so hard to break a habit, but i need to try more. God is coming at any moment and we all need to be ready for that.
to me i feel like this means Jesus is coming very soon and we don’t have to deal with the earth any more
“Be sure of this:
if the master of the house had known the hour
when the thief was coming,
he would not have let his house be broken into.
You also must be prepared,
for at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come.”
We will not know the hour but we must always try to be good and holy for him.
You also must be prepared,for at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come.”,
To me this means that We will go home to Jesus in heaven, we have to be prepared.
I like the phrase if the master of the house had known the hour when the thief was coming the master of the house would not of let the house be broken into. I think that means that you should always be prepared for when God comes for his second coming.
Our souls are searching for authentic relationships. For those souls who are educated in the ways of God and know the Scriptures, but choose to live their life against it will be punished. “The servant who was ignorant of his master’s will but acted in a way deserving of a severe beating shall be beaten only lightly.” If a person is not educated in God’s Will, then they will not receive as bad of a punishment. It is hard work to get to heaven. “Much will be required of the person entrusted with much, and still more will be demanded of the person entrusted with more.” Effort through your will with God’s grace increases holiness. He wants you to participate in your salvation. Get to know Christ intimately and imitate Him.
For at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come. That stood out to me because we cant expect him to come. We cant act differently around him than our friends. We should treat everybody like we do God. Not like worshiping them but be kind to them like they are God.
When I read this it made me think of how when we know something is wrong but we still do it we will get more punished than if we did something we didn’t know was wrong. This reminded me of sin, how sin is doing something wrong that we know is wrong and yet we still do it.
God gave us everything, so the least we can do is be prepared for him and be able to listen to him and serve him when he comes.
We often sin, because we have the tendency to sin obviosly, but also because sometimes inedvertantly maybe, but we think that if we sin, we can always go to confession. You do not know if you will have time to go to confession. We like to think that we can cleaneverything up really quick, so it will be like it never happened. But when Jesus comes, we won’t have time. we have to be ready, always.
Jesus said to his disciples: “Be sure of this: if the master of the house had known the hour when the thief was coming,he would not have let his house be broken into. You also must be prepared,for at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come.”
This phrase really stuck out to me because sometimes we let our guards down to easily. When we let down our guard a thief could break in. We also need to be ready to leave everything we have and follow God. We don’t know when he is coming so we always need to be ready. Don’t let your guard down.

You also must be prepared,
for at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come.” I think when Jesus says this he means that He could come at any time and that we need to strive to be holy and be prepared for judgment day so we can enter the kingdom of God.
We often sin, because we have the tendency to sin obviously, but also because sometimes inadvertantly maybe, but we think that if we sin, we can always go to confession.

You have been called, today respond by opening your mind and heart to God’s Will. You will never be disappointed. When you open up your heart and mind to God he will love us for eternity and more. We are never disappointed in God unless he doesn’t give us what we want but when he does we don’t do anything in return and all he wants us to do is to pray to him and love him.
What stuck out to me was when it said getting to heaven is hard.An when you think about it you rarely think getting to heaven sounds easy.But its the most daunting task of them all you have to do the work so you can make a good relationship with Jesus and you might think its boring but its crucial for us to live a good life
Today the scripture is saying that on judgment day the ones who knew God’s will and did not do it will be punished. In the same way the servant got beaten because he knew the masters will and did not follow it. It also said if we knew the day that God was coming to the earth would we not prepare and make room for him? ” At the hour you do not expect the son of man will come”. It says this because we will not know when the Son of man will come so we must be vigilant and always follow God’s will.
What stuck out to me was that he died to have an encounter with us to be our best friend not just to be there on the side waiting but to be i our lives to talk to him and put him to the side.Another thing would be that he wants us to talk to him frequently not just one time every month but everyday and he is waiting for you to come to him so we have to stop waiting for him to come to us.
We must be ready for when Jesus will return. It could be in a million years or it could be in 15 years but we must be ready. We don’t know when He will come. It’s all up to God.
I think that this means we need to take God’s Word seriously. Jesus is the Word of God made flesh. He died for our sins and we need to offer Him everything. We owe Him a life debt because he saved us from our sins. He is truly innocent, we aren’t. His word is meant for everyone, not just us.
