"This generation will not pass away until all these things take place," Mark 13:30.
Who's Jesus talking to? To Peter and James and John and Andrew, privately. Jesus told them: See to it that no one leads you astray. He told them: Be on your guard. He told them: When you see the desolating abomination, may people in Judea run to the mountains. He told them: I've told you these things beforehand. He told them: Learn this lesson from the fig tree. He told them: When you see these things. He told them: Be on guard, keep awake. He told them: Stay awake for you do not know when the master of the house will come. He told them: What I say to you I say to all: Stay awake. He told them: Heaven and earth will pass away but my words will not pass away.
We wait alert with a brother or sister today, attentive to Jesus' unpassing words. And, together, we give thanks to God for cutting earth's troubles short and heralding the new world in Christ.
