In the first reading, St. Paul reminds us that through Jesus Christ, we who were once far away have been brought near to God. Christ is our peace, breaking down the walls of hostility and making us members of God's household.
Beloved, no matter how far you may have wandered, God's grace can draw you near again. Allow Christ to break every wall of hatred, bitterness, division, and unforgiveness in your heart. Where Christ reigns, peace becomes possible.
In the Gospel, Jesus calls us to remain watchful and ready for the Master's return. Our faith must not be occasional; it must be a daily commitment to God. Do not allow distractions, worldly pleasures, or spiritual laziness to make you forget your divine assignment.
Stay spiritually awake. Keep your faith alive, your heart pure, and your lamp burning. The Master will come at an unexpected hour.
REMEMBER TODAY Christ is your peace and your reconciliation with God.
Let go of bitterness and every wall of hostility.
Remain prayerful, watchful, and faithful.
Do not allow distractions to weaken your relationship with God.
Be ready to answer God's call whenever He invites you to act.
