Angels, #7

"... in those days... the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light;
"the stars of heaven will fall, and the powers in heaven will be shaken.
"Then they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.
"And then He will send His angels, and gather together His elect from the four winds, from the farthest part of earth to the farthest part of heaven.

Mark 13:24-27, www.solascriptura.com


Jesus, You tell us of a calamitous moment, where the earth will be shaken, stars will fall and thereafter, nothing will be the same.

Jesus, there is nothing we can do to escape this moment except to place our souls in Your care. We want to ask, how could anyone not seek You and love You while the sun is still shining and the moon still giving its light. Jesus, these are good times for us because even when we are distressed, You are shedding Your light upon us.

Where would we be Jesus, without Your light, Your Holy word, Your angels looking after us. We would simply be lost and we would have turned into the darkest of all alleys, willingly.

O' Jesus, draw our friends and family unto You today. Give us a good and perfect witness, we pray. Prepare us for the marriage supper of the Lamb, that moment where You welcome us into Your eternal home.

You have extended Your hand of grace and mercy. Help us to reach out and become as one with You. In Your Holy name, amen.
