Subject: [TAC] Daily Excerpt for December 04 2006
Date: December 2, 2006 09:47 pm

Today's excerpt is from St. Ephrem:

"To prevent His disciples from asking the time of His coming, Christ said:
About that hour no one knows, neither the angels nor the Son. It is not
for you to know times or moments. He has kept those things hidden so that
we may keep watch, each of us thinking that He will come in our own day...
Though the Lord has established the signs of His coming, the time of their
fulfilment has not been plainly revealed. These signs have come and gone
with a multiplicity of change; more than that, they are still present. His
final coming is like His first. As holy men and prophets waited for Him,
thinking that He would reveal Himself in their own day, so today each of
the faithful longs to welcome Him in His own day, because Christ has not
made plain the day of His coming...When the Lord commanded us to be
vigilant, He meant vigilance in both parts of man: in the body, against
the tendency to sleep; in the soul, against lethargy and timidity. As
Scripture says: Wake up, you just, and I have risen, and am still with
you; and again, Do not lose heart. Therefore, having this ministry, we do
not lose heart." (A commentary on the Diatessaron by St. Ephrem [Office
of Readings])

God Bless.

Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, pray for us!

St. Gianna Beretta Molla, pray for us!
