REFLECTION
ON TODAY’S READINGS -
The Time of Reckoning
Waiting
for an important visitor to come can be stressful and worrisome,
especially the kind of visitor Jesus talks about today in a parable
about being dressed for action and having our lamps lit. The trouble
is that the servants do not know when the master is going to appear.
There is no way to call to ask about the time or check the internet
for the estimated time of arrival. And that is what happens in life
most of the time; we are not clear about where our life is going and
what God is saying to us. If we are faithful and trusting servants,
any time is a good time. For an unfaithful servant, any time is a bad
time. But if we truly trust God, whenever He calls, it is a good
time. Because with God, any time is a good time.

PRAYER INTENTIONS -
For our Diocesan families: that this summer season may provide opportunities to reconnect with loved ones and restore bonds that may have been weakened during the season of pandemic, We ask this through Christ Our Lord. Amen
For our Priests: God of mercy and holiness, hear the anguished cry of your people for holy Priests to shepherd them. Fill their hearts with enlightened zeal, that they minister worthily in Your presence, be faithful to Your church always, and come at last to love You with a never ending love. We ask this through Christ, Our Lord. Amen
