From the Catholic Liturgy for Sunday, August 7, 2017. 19th Sunday of Ordinary Time. Gospel of Luke
12:32-48. In the middle of the hazy lazy days of Summer, the Church calls us to keep in mind that
our earthly life is temporary and a preparation for eternal existence. Jesus
teaches us that God is our loving Father who has prepared everything for us,
for our return home to the Kingdom. He uses the example of an ancient wedding
feast to remind us that we must always be ready for His return to planet Earth.
At that time we will receive the praise and reward of a blessed joyful eternity
if we have proven ourselves faithful servants of the Risen Master, Christ the
Lord.
