St Augustine

1 Corinthians 1: 1-9; Ps 145;Matthew 24: 42-51

Be prepared

Living Down Under with its earthquakes and unpredictable weather, we’re often told to be prepared. But are we ever? If we’re not prepared for natural disasters, then Christ’s return isn’t even on our radar. St Augustine had a wasted youth and beyond, but after his conversion he more than made up for it. How much time do we have to make up? Just how ready are we? Lord, help us to put our spiritual affairs in order so that when the time comes we’ll not be found wanting.
