"But when these signs begin to happen, stand erect and raise your heads because your redemption is at hand.” (Luke 21: 28).
Thursday 26th November 2020, 34th Week in Ordinary Time is Thanksgiving Day in America.
The first Reading and the Gospel message today from the universal lectionary are grim messages. They deal with the last days. They may seem unpalatable for Thanksgiving celebrations but they are tonic and nourishment for the soul. Why? Because the Bible warns by example and narrative that it is during wining and dining that disaster strikes.
Which would you prefer? To be called to the wedding feast of the Lamb or sit down before a table piled high with roasted turkey, deserts and wine?
The message of the End Times whether from the Prophet Daniel, Jesus or John in the Book of Revelation is the easiest Scripture to understand. It is concise and straightforward:
ARE YOU READY TO GO?
How to be ready and fired up to go in a moment's notice:
#1 Pray all the time.
#2 Pray everywhere.
#3 Pray about everything.
To prayer add daily nourishment from the word of God. Do not be tired of doing good to your neighbor.
