August 7, 2016: 19th Sunday in Ordinary Time

The Kingdom of God is coming, and God wants us to be ready for His arrival.

He has given us the great gift of Faith by the Paschal Mystery that directs the focus of our lives toward awaiting His arrival, because this great gift compels us to live in a way befitting of it:  We focus on building treasure in Heaven, and keeping busy in those activities that glorify God and benefit of others, that truly we experience the blessings of being His people.  Faith drives us toward a Heavenly Reward, which we don't have a grasp of, but we know for sure it's real, and we aim for it.

While we don't know when He's coming, we live in a way that acknowledges that reality, in a state of constant readiness, eager to behold our God when He comes.
