Dear Friend in the Lord,
God’s Providence – Faith: In today’s Gospel, Jesus proclaims to His disciples that the time of the “Second Coming” depends on God’s Providence and Wisdom. Ponder on, “Our lives will be filled with worries, that will develop into fears, superstitions and the loss of our faith, if we do not focus fully on Jesus’ Ways of obeying His Father’s Will.”
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
Luke 17:30b, 31b-35, 37
Jesus said to his disciples: ‘When the day comes for the Son of Man to be revealed, anyone on the housetop, with his possessions in the house, must not come down to collect them, nor must anyone in the fields turn back. Remember Lot’s wife. Anyone who tries to preserve his life will lose it; and anyone who loses it will keep it safe.
‘I tell you, on that night, two will be in one bed, one will be taken, the other left; two women will be grinding corn together, one will be taken, the other left.’ The disciples interrupted. ‘Where, Lord?’ He said, ‘Where the body is, there too will the vultures gather.’
