31st Sunday

Paul's 2nd letter to the Thessalonians is timely today. They were concerned about the parousia and not focused on living their faith. Paul urges a sane approach. We do not know the day of the Lord's coming. We should be prepared each day. With all the Rapture nonsense being advocated by other Christians, we have an obligation to keep people focused. Paul was concerned about some alleged prophetic insight, an oracle or a fraudulent letter attributed to him that was upsetting people. Read the Gospel and pay attention to what Jesus had to say (be ready at all times).
