the Anointing of the Sick or Holy Communion.

GET READY
The Letters of Paul to the Thessalonians are among his
earliest writings, and are driven by his belief and the belief of the
entire early Christian community that the return of Christ was
imminent. Therefore, to devote time or attention to anything else
was foolish.
As time progressed, this fervor receded a bit. Today we may
wonder, when we hear these readings about the coming endtimes, if we should take them to heart. What should we do when
we hear that the day of the Lord will come upon us “like a thief at
night”? (1 Thessalonians 5:2) Does this mean we are to stop our
long-range goal-setting, get rid of our yearly calendars and
planners, or stop putting money in the college education fund? Of
course not. What it does mean is that we need to change our lives,
living like children of the light and illuminating the world around
us with the light of the gospel. Then, on that day, when the details
of our daily living become unimportant, we will be ready to find
our peace and security in Christ Jesus.

“Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been
faithful over a little, I will set you over much…”- Matthew
25:21
God expects us to nurture and develop the giŌs He
has given us and then generously give back with increase. He doesn’t want us to waste or hoard the

use them wisely and be generous with them.
