Daily Gospel Commentary

Thursday of the Twenty-first week in Ordinary Time
Commentary of the day
Didache (between 60-120), Judaeo-Christian catechesis
§ 10 et 16 (trans. E.R. Goodspeed)

"Stay awake! For you do not know on the day"

After you are satisfied, give thanks thus: "We give you thanks, Holy Father, for your holy name, which you have made dwell in our hearts, and for knowledge and faith and immortality, which you have made known to us through Jesus your servant; glory to you forever. Amen!... Above all we thank you that you are mighty; glory to you forever. Amen! Remember, Lord, your church, to save it from all evil and to make it perfect in your love, and gather it together in its holiness from the four winds, into your kingdom which you have pre-pared for it. For the power and the glory are yours forever. Amen! Let your favour come and this world pass away. Hosanna to the God of David! If anyone is holy, let him come; if anyone is not, let him repent. “Lord, come quickly! Amen" (Rv 22,20)…

“Be watchful” for your life; “your lamps must not go out,” and you must not be unprepared, but be ready, for “you do not know the hour when our Lord is coming” (Lk 12,35; Mt 24,42f.). Gather together often to seek the things that benefit your souls, for the whole time of your faith will not profit you unless you are found perfect at the last.

Consider seriously how quickly people change, and how little trust is to be had in them; and hold fast to God, Who does not change.

St. Teresa of Avila
