32nd Sunday of the Year
Dear John, How simple and obvious. We do not know when the Lord may be coming – today, tomorrow or a thousand tomorrows from now. The only solution, the only way to live, the wise thing to do, is to always be ready. As one way to assure that we are ready to meet the Lord, St. Ignatius has us meditate on death, indeed, imagine our own death! He also asks us, if we have an important decision to make, to imagine how I would make that decision if I were at the moment of death. Let’s pray for God’s spirit of wisdom to guide us now and every day, in major decisions and in little choices.
| | O God, the giver of wisdom, without whose help resolutions are vain, without whose blessing study is ineffectual; enable me to attain such knowledge as may qualify me to direct the doubtful and instruct the ignorant; to prevent wrongs and terminate contentions; and grant that I may use that knowledge which I shall attain to your glory and my own salvation, for Jesus Christ’s sake.
Amen Rev. Peter Schineller, S.J., CMMB Board of Directors |  | | |  |  |
