Thursday within the 21st week Year C. Matthew 24:42-51

Watchfulness for the day of the Lord is a constant and powerful reminder of the reality of the return of Christ. We are invited to examine whether our hearts and minds align with God's holy will. Being ready entails leading every day a life of charity, mercy, forgiveness, and integrity as required by Christ. It is another call to enter the narrow gate. Pope Leo XIV considers this call as an invitation to constantly be attentive to God's loving presence and to the needs of our fellow brothers and sisters. Just as St. Augustine opened himself to God's love, may we open our hearts to live for God and to die for God and in God.

St. Augustine, pray for us!
