St fiacre

1 Corinthians 1:1-9; ps 145 I will praise your name forever; Mt 24:42-51

Jesus says to his disciples, "Stay Awake!". You do not know the day your Lord will come.

Urgency.  this is the necessary quality of the Christian life.

How often are we complacent!

How often do we find ourselves thinking or even saying we always have tomorrow?


Urgency and attentiveness to details for the day that is given is necessary for us.

Sometimes we don't have tomorrow.  There will be a moment in which today will be the only day left.  should we gamble on tomorrow or truly make today count for all of its worth; it is worth all for us who have been given this day to rise.



there are some of us who did not make it to today.  Through the night our fellow human beings were called back and it could have been us.

Perhaps this is why the saints would often meditate on death.  This is why we often see depicted next to a painting of a saint a skull.

Urgency is what the saints teach us.  today is a gift that may not be given tomorrow.

Stay awake, be attentive.

st fiacre pray for us.
