@Pontifex a.k.a Pope Francis’ latest tweet reads: “Heaven doesn’t value what you have, but what you give.”
> 1 Thessalonians 6-10 reads:
> "6 So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be awake and sober. 7 For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, get drunk at night. 8 But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet. 9 For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. 10 He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him."
It is at this time of year that we are given a wake-up call for Christ’s imminent, yet unpredictable second coming.
It is an appropriate time to receive the necessary sacraments–the “Life Line” sacraments: namely the Sacrament of Reconciliation and Holy Communion.
This is not the only preparation, we are also to be joyful, even though this is a stressful and lonely time for some.
Here is a good article worth reading:
“Pray with Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving and Supplication.” (ACTS)
“May not my will, but Your will be done.”
