The two angels dressed in a white garment said to the
disciples, “men of Galilee, why are you standing there looking at the sky? This
Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven will RETURN in the same way as you have seen him going into
heaven”.
The words ‘will return’ are in bold and underlined because
of the weight they carry. We did not get the privilege to know the day, the
hour or the moment when Jesus Christ would come back for us, all he wants of us
is to be ready all the time.
My dear children of God, this is our time to prepare our
history which we will present to Christ for approval before we ascend with him
into heaven. We have to try our best to create a history of glory and dignity
which can only be achieved through practicing all that he taught us before
ascending into heaven.
Jesus wants us to live together, share together and pray
together. The person who tries to live alone will not succeed as a human being.
His heart withers if it does not answer another heart. His mind shrinks away if
he hears only the echoes of his own thoughts and finds no other inspiration.
King David once asked God
to create in him a new heart. This is still possible for us today through the
sacrament of confession. It is necessary to be sure of our past record as we
move on. God has assured us that he will remember no more the sins of a
repentant sinner. How beautiful is your personal relationship with your God?
Life can only be found in
the present moment and if we do not go back to ourselves in the present moment,
we cannot be in touch with life. The goal of life is living in agreement with
nature. We are reminded that we make a living by what we get, but we make a
life by what we give.
