"Jesus said to his disciples: 'There will be signs in the sun, the moon, and the stars, and on earth nations will be in dismay, perplexed by the roaring of the sea and the waves...And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory'." -Luke 21:25-27

 While we do not know the day nor the hour that the Lord will return, we prepare spiritually. 

We wait with hope for He has promised our redemption.

As for me, I also believe that the Lord comes into our daily lives in unexpected ways with His Mercy. But I wait too and pray that I may recognize Him.

For Reflection:

 How do you prepare as you wait?

When have you felt God's presence or His Mercy?

Watching the cyclists weaving their way so gracefully through the Vatican Gardens, I was inspired to write.

      Gearing for the Journey 

 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 

In verdant pastures he gives me repose. 

Beside restful waters he leads me; 

He refreshes my soul. 

He guides me in right paths for his name’s sake. -Psalm 23
