tidying the house, pull out the Christmas decorations, rearrange your life to make way for the Lord who comes. E 'Coming!
Watch therefore, for ye know on what day your Lord is coming. Understand this: if the householder had known at what hour of the night the thief, have watched and would not have let his house be broken. Therefore you also be ready for, hour you do not, is the Son of Man. "
Matthew (Mt 24, 37-44)
The gospel, by establishing a parallel between the deluge, which swept the repeating of the everyday life of the generation of Noah, and the coming of the Son ' Man, warns not to drown in the banality of day. The generation of Noah is not painted by Jesus as evil or wicked, but merely as an unconscious "did not notice anything." The generation of Noah perished for lack of discernment. And so it died twice in the flood, and without knowing why. Noah, however, was able to discern and thus saved himself and the future: the discernment of today save the future. And this is responsibility. The blame, if blame must speak, glimpsed in our text, then, is the irresponsibility, lack of discernment.
Ensure means to exercise intelligence, reflection, thinking about the times you live, not to be surprised by secretly preparing for disasters in today in history, church, family and personal relationships. The believer is called to think and learn today from the coming of the Lord and the size of unexpected and unknown.
The coming of the Lord will not commit itself to watch over time, but also on the truth of his heart. The reference to the two people involved in that work, that nothing seems to distinguish, and of which but one is taken the other left, indicates that what the everyday life of the day can remain hidden, is revealed to the coming of the Lord. The difference is the invisible interior play. "In inner homine habitat veritas "(Augustine)," The path of knowledge leads to the inner life "(Novalis).
