FEARLESS
“Don’t
be afraid when you hear of wars and revolutions, such things must
happen first, but they do not mean that the end is near.” – Luke 21:9
I remember watching the movie 2012. During
the week it was shown in the cinemas in 2009, there was a lot of talk
going around about the possibilities of doomsday. I recall that there
were documentaries coming out on TV and it even became the topic of
homilies during the Mass. Well, if you’re alive and reading this
reflection today, that means it was all untrue.
Many
of us are scared of death, or the end of the world, because we are not
ready. We don’t have to wait for the world to end to accept God into our
lives. His kingdom resides in us if we invite Him in. “The Kingdom of
God is near, repent and believe in the Good News (Mark 1:15).”
The best way to live is to live for Christ. Then there will be nothing to fear, not even death. Or the end of the world. Kirby Llaban (kirbyllaban@gmail.com)

REFLECTION:
If you knew that you only had one day to live, how would you spend the next 24 hours?
Lord,
I invite You into my life. May Your kingdom reign in my heart and soul.
Make me fearless in facing life, knowing that You are my Savior. Amen.
St. Francesco Antonio Fasani, pray for us.
