Dear Friend in the Lord,
“Vigilance – Pray at all Times”: In today’s Gospel, Jesus cautioned against living a life of “debauchery, drunkenness and cares of life”. The “Judgment Day” may surprise us “like a trap”. Ponder on, “A life of secular gratifications cannot bring true meaning and peace into our lives. They are irresponsible living that destroys our lives, families and even Eternal Life.”
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
Luke 21:34-36
Jesus said to his disciples: ‘Watch yourselves, or your hearts will be coarsened with debauchery and drunkenness and the cares of life, and that day will be spring on you suddenly, like a trap. For it will come down on every living man on the face of the earth.
‘Stay awake, praying at all times for the strength to survive all that is going to happen, and to stand with confidence before the Son of Man.’
