How ready are you?


I have been blogging for a long time, and since I started this Bob Rice Spiritual work out it has become a lot more constant, It not only gives me a great spiritual work out but also gives me great ideas on what to say.

Now, We know that we need to be pure, we need to reconcile, we need to Pray (because other wise how are we supposed to communicate with God). So There is now this Second coming of Jesus. He spoke of it in the gospel with a parable:
He proposed another parable to them.
"The kingdom of heaven may be likened to a man who sowed good seed in his field.
While everyone was asleep his enemy came and sowed weeds 10 all through the wheat, and then went off.
When the crop grew and bore fruit, the weeds appeared as well.
The slaves of the householder came to him and said, 'Master, did you not sow good seed in your field? Where have the weeds come from?'
He answered, 'An enemy has done this.' His slaves said to him, 'Do you want us to go and pull them up?'

When I read this parable I imagined 2 pictures,
1. The Man Sowing his Field and then his enemy sowing weeds, the harvest of the weeds and grain. Then them burring the weeds.
2. The 2ND coming and the angels "harvesting the people"...Then the "weeds" being sent to the fires of hell.

I started to think how ready am I. Should I be proclaiming the Gospel of the street telling people about Jesus. Should I be in adoration. Praising Our Lord. What would you do?

Picture this: It is the end of the world, we know Jesus is coming back in 24 hours. What are you doing. I know we don't know the time of Christs return but iif we could know what would you do. Its like the ? if you only had 24 hours to live what would you do. I would do a little of everything, I would spend time with my family, I would go to mass/ adoration. I would write on my blog saying Goodbye. I would cuddly with Michelle. I would Go to Confession when the time was closer to death. This would be what I would do. I would also do one last vlog. for the world to see.

But because we never know when it is gonna happen we never will know when our time is small.

Jesus also speaking of the 2nd coming this way in the Gospel of Luke
There will be signs in the sun, the moon, and the stars, and on earth nations will be in dismay, perplexed by the roaring of the sea and the waves.
People will die of fright in anticipation of what is coming upon the world, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
But when these signs begin to happen, stand erect and raise your heads because your redemption is at hand."


Jesus is Now telling us what the end of the world will be like. This is a clue but He never tells us a year, or month. It is Just going to happen so the ? I am leaving you with is...

HOW ARE YOU GETTING READY?
