Come and Heal:

We praise Jesus, the same, yesterday, today and tomorrow, Come, Jesus,Come and heal.We will be whole in you.For service in your kingdom.

Vigilance – “Second Coming”:

In today’s Gospel, Jesus reminds us that the end of the world i.e. the “Second Coming” of Christ will come suddenly. If we live a “vigilant” Christ-like life of forgiveness, compassion and love we will then be living in the way that Jesus preached.

There are some who desire knowledge merely for its own sake; and that is shameful curiosity. And there are others who desire to know, in order that they may themselves be known; and that is vanity, disgraceful too. Others again desire knowledge in order to acquire money or preferment by it; that too is a discreditable quest. But there are also some who desire knowledge, that they may build up the souls of others with it; and that is charity. Others, again, desire it that they may themselves be built up thereby; and that is prudence. Of all these types, only the last two put knowledge to the right use.

- St. Bernard, Sermon on the Canticle of Canticles).

It is by the path of love, which is charity, that God draws near to man, and man to God. But where charity is not found, God cannot dwell. If, then, we possess charity, we possess God, for "God is Charity" (1 John 4:8).

- Saint Albert the Great (1206-1280)
