November 19, 2023: 33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time

In keeping with the mood toward the end of the Liturgical Year, the End Times are coming, a reality that calls us to respond.

We recognize that we've been entrusted with the great gift of faith, and we're meant to immediately act to put it into action, and do so throughout our lives as we await Christ's coming again.

We live in a state of readiness, living in a way that is pleasing to God, in His light.  The first reading describes the qualities of a great woman, and many of them apply to the other gender, too.  Ultimately, our interior disposition is what counts, that it may lead us closer to God Who draws close to us.

Like the servants, we're called to us what we have and not just sit on it, even if that puts us at risk.  We are seeking the great reward of entering into the fullness of God's presence, which is worth all our striving now to live holy, because God has brought us into Light.
