Prayer for Those Who Are Suffering:

When we are suffering, we forget that someone else is also suffering. Our sorrow looms so large that it often blinds us to another. Lord God, help me to focus on your love and kindness, so that I can joyfully do what you ask.

“Second Coming” – Faith:

In today’s Gospel, Jesus reminds us of His Second Coming i.e. the end of the world. We should never live in fear. Instead, we should accept this reality with faith and peace,and look forward to spending our eternal life with God.

Never be in a hurry; do everything quietly and in a calm spirit. Do not lose your inner peace for anything whatsoever, even if your whole world seems upset.

- Saint Francis de Sales

The Church evangelizes when she seeks to convert, solely through the divine power of the Message she proclaims, both the personal and collective consciences of people, the activities in which they engage, and the lives and concrete milieus which are theirs.

- Evangelization in the Modern World, #18 by the late Pope Paul VI
