“The Lord comes to judge the peoples with fairness"
Reflections by Father Paul Beukes OMI
When the world around us shakes, when we face personal trials, sickness, loss, or betrayal, we have an opportunity to bear witness. We are given the wisdom and the strength of the Holy Spirit to endure. Our steadfastness, our refusal to succumb to despair, our continued practice of love and compassion in a broken world - that is our testimony. That is how we secure our lives in Christ.
So let us look to the future with hope, not fear. Let us not be consumed by anxiety about when or how Christ will return. Instead, let us focus on how we are living right now.
