Frailty of Life

Gospel - Mk 13:33-37

Jesus said to his disciples:“Be watchful! Be alert! You do not know when the time will come.
It is like a man traveling abroad. He leaves home and places his servants in charge,each with his own work, and orders the gatekeeper to be on the watch.

Watch, therefore;you do not know when the Lord of the house is coming,whether in the evening, or at midnight,or at cockcrow, or in the morning.

May he not come suddenly and find you sleeping.What I say to you, I say to all: ‘Watch!’”

That was yesterday's gospel reading - the 1st Sunday of Advent. And this morning, I walked into office and was informed via MSN that the 1 Singaporean hostage in the terrible Mumbai attack was killed.

Father was right - be on the ready for when the end comes, and you never know when it will, Jesus will be our Saviour.
