DGeMs- Daily Gospel eMessage

Dear Friend in the Lord,

Faith – Vigilance: In today’s Gospel, Jesus cautioned His disciples about the temptations of “debauchery, drunkenness, and the false-glories of the materialistic world.  Ponder on, “If we live by the “secular world’s fantasies, we will regret, as they are superficial and passing.  Our lives and families will also be divided by such self-centred living.”

Fr Philip Heng, S.J.

Luke 21:12-19

Jesus said to his disciples: ‘Watch yourselves, or your hearts will be coarsened by debauchery and drunkenness and the cares of life, and that day will come upon you unexpectedly, like a trap. For it will come down on all those living 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 hold your ground before the Son of man.’
