Ps16; Daniel 12:1-3; Hebrews 10:11-14,18; Mark 13:24-32

Be Watchful

Jesus reminds the four apostles about the signs of coming of the Son of man and the need for watchfulness. Beware of false prophets. The signs - no sun, no moon, stars falling from the sky. Jesus uses a simple analogy that we identify a season by, namely the sprouting of trees and plants when spring is here. His message is be alert for the signs. As we approach the end of the month we are likely to be inundated with advertising of approaching Christmas. Jesus wants us to continue with our preparations for the anniversary of his birth through our prayers and sacraments.
