You do not know on which day your Lord will come

SUNDAY 1 DECEMBER (Mt 24,37-44)

Scrolling through the Holy Scriptures, from the first verse of Genesis to the last of the Apocalypse, there is a truth that no one might ever deny, refute or declare non-truth. Only the Lord is the Lord. There is no other Lord either on earth or in the eternal skies. In heaven one decided to become Lord and was plunged into eternal darkness. It is Lucifer, the angel that once was the bearer of light. It is he who has seduced a third of angels to be proclaimed Lords, as God, equal to Him and in front of Him. But it is also Lucifer who seduced Eve, so that she proclaimed herself equal to God, separated from God and independent of Him. It is always Lucifer and his Angels that today are seducing humanity so that every man declares himself the lord of his life and also God of the life of his brothers. But history attests that nobody is Lord.

No one is Lord, because no one can govern his life by his will. The man was wanted, he is wanted to let himself be governed by the will of his Creator, Lord and God. By obeying the divine will man becomes man, walks from life to life and will reach blessed life in Paradise. But if he walks in pursuit of his instincts, his vices and his sinful fantasies, not only he will never become the man as he was thought of by God; furthermore, he will fall into an abyss of death, which will be consumed into and eternal perdition, unless he does not get converted and does not return to obedience to the will of God, which is entirely manifested in his Word. We listen to the Lord, we live what we have heard, we become true men. We do not listen, we do not obey and we do not live according to the divine Word, never might we become true men. We are lacking in eternal truth.

For as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. In (those) days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day that Noah entered the ark. They did not know until the flood came and carried them all away. So will it be (also) at the coming of the Son of Man. Two men will be out in the field; one will be taken, and one will be left. Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken, and one will be left. Therefore, stay awake! For you do not know on which day your Lord will come. Be sure of this: if the master of the house had known the hour of night when the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and not let his house be broken into. So too, you also must be prepared, for at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come.

The time given to us to bring our humanity into the highest perfection of the eternal truth that is obtained through obedience to the Word is very short. This truth is revealed by all the Holy Scripture. St. Paul shouts it firmly: “I tell you, brothers, the time is running out. From now on, let those having wives act as not having them, those weeping as not weeping, those rejoicing as not rejoicing, those buying as not owning, those using the world as not using it fully. For the world in its present form is passing away“ (1 Cor 7: 29-31). If time is short, we must commit ourselves to bring it to the highest fruiting. It must not be wasted, living in idleness or spiritual sloth, submerged by vices or by the many transgressions of the Law of the Lord.

When our God comes to reap our life, if we will have remained bad weed and we will have transformed into any other bad grass, there will be no place for us in his eternal barns. Our collocation is in the eternal heart. Since no one knows the day of his harvest, it is right that we are always prepared. When the Lord comes, he will have to find us with the lamps lit, ready to accompany him to his home where there will be an eternal feast. Jesus warns us: no one might ever imagine the hour of his death. The one of the transit towards eternity could be every moment. Who will be found light, will enter the eternal light. Whoever will have become darkness will share the darkness of hell, without ever leaving from them. We have been warned. Now it is up to us to treasure this word of love of our God and prepare our blessed eternity.

Mother of God, Angels and Saints, obtain for us a true faith in every Word of Christ Jesus.
