WHERE THE BODY IS

2 Jn 4-9; Ps 118; Lk 17,26-37
16 NOVEMBER

Where there will be a corpse, the vultures will gather there. Where there will be a man, there will always be death there. Today everyone would like to eliminate death. They do not know that it will not only be eliminated, but it will be transformed into eternal death, for those who refuse to recognize that God is the Lord and the Creator of man and all obedience must be given to him, to his Word, to his Command, to his Law and to his Gospel.

Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth. Serve the Lord with gladness; Come before Him with joyful singing. Know that the Lord Himself is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. Enter His gates with thanksgiving And His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him, bless His name. For the Lord is good; His loving kindness is everlasting And His faithfulness to all generations (Ps 100 (99) 1-5).

In ancient times man was invited to recognize that only the Lord is God, only He is the Creator and only He has done what exists. The only God to be confessed and acknowledged was the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Today this faith is no longer enough, it is no longer sufficient. It does not give true salvation, because the true God, the only true God, has constituted Jesus of Nazareth Lord, Judge, Saviour, Redeemer and universal Mediator of his revelation, science and knowledge, but also the only Giver of grace and truth that liberate man from eternal death. Today every man is called, must be called to recognize that only Jesus of Nazareth is his God and Lord, only his Word is eternal life, only his grace brings man back to his truth, also in an even greater truth of that received at the origins of his creation.

But what is happening today? Not only the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is no longer confessed as the only Lord, the only Creator; every God is proclaimed Creator and Lord of man. It is naturally, metaphysically and theologically impossible thing. One universe cannot have many creators and one humanity cannot have different shapers. But today we are going infinitely beyond. Not only is the God of Abraham disappearing, not only the God of Jesus Christ and Jesus Christ, the only Saviour and Redeemer, is being eliminated, but also the God of religions is being declared useless. We are moving to the personal God, without any mediation and without a religion of belonging. Officially one can be of any religion. In the heart and in the mind everyone walks with his God, always renewed and modified by him.

As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be in the days of the Son of Man; they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage up to the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. Similarly, as it was in the days of Lot: they were eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, building; on the day when Lot left Sodom, fire and brimstone rained from the sky to destroy them all. So it will be on the day the Son of Man is revealed. On that day, a person who is on the housetop and whose belongings are in the house must not go down to get them, and likewise a person in the field must not return to what was left behind. Remember the wife of Lot. Whoever seeks to preserve his life will lose it, but whoever loses it will save it. I tell you, on that night there will be two people in one bed; one will be taken, the other left. And there will be two women grinding meal together; one will be taken, the other left.” They said to him in reply, “Where, Lord?” He said to them, “Where the body is, there also the vultures will gather.”

Instead, history testifies that only one is God and only one is the Mediator between God and man: Christ the Lord. Jesus of Nazareth is the only one that can free us from eternal death. Everyone is invited to be ready. When He comes, if He finds us in his truth, we will enter his light. If we are in darkness, we will go into eternal darkness. Nobody knows the moment of transition from time to eternity. A moment before you are in time, a moment later you are in eternity. We are responsible for our eternity.

Faithful Virgin, Angels and Saints, free us from every false faith and every false belief.
