For centuries, the advent of earthquakes, famines, wars. and natural disasters of all sorts, have caused panic, for these were the very "signs" Jesus used to answer the age-old question, When will the end come?"
People have sold everything, homes and property, to be completely free for the Second Coming, and never has it arrived on the predicted date, or any date, for that matter. Truly, no one knows the day nor he hour. The message is that being ready for it at any time, is the way to live.
With Advent on the horizon for next Sunday, this is the time to start preparing our hearts for the Coming of Jesus, not only at Christmas, or the end of time, but right now, as he comes to us in the people and events of every day. Most of the time we miss him, so busy and unfocused are we, but St. Marcellin's advice to live in the Presence of God, will help us to refocus and be alert to his nearness.
Let's be attentive; be awake, be ready.
