DAILY HOLY MASS READINGS
Stay awake!
For you do not know when the Son of Man will come.
Mt 24:42A, 44
1 Corinthians 1:1-9, Psalm 145:2-7, Matthew 24:42-51
1 Corinthians 1:1-9
My Love, Beloved of my soul,
We ought never to forget that it is You who called the Apostles and entrusted them with their sacred mission of leading, guiding, and teaching the members of Your Body all that You taught them. They have been charged with handing down the faith to all who follow from one generation to the next. They are anointed by You, empowered by Your Holy Spirit and sent forth to preach the Good News so that all whom the Father has chosen will hear, believe, and be saved.
To all who believe has been given the extraordinary privilege of being known as children of God, we are Your brothers and sisters. Angels have been given charge of us and all the rich treasures of heaven are poured out upon us through the glorious Sacraments instituted by You.
Your Church lacks nothing Beloved. She is invincible because You make her so. She is powerful because the Holy Spirit makes His home in her. She is radiant because Your Light and Your Truth are embodied in her - You are her Bridegroom. No harm will come to her. Her walls are impenetrable and the gates of hell shall not assail her for You are her God and she is Your possession.
Psalm 145:2-7

Psalm 145:2-7
My Love, Beloved of my soul,
Every day all over the world Your faithful gather together, so that from the rising of the sun to its going down perfect praise, adoration, and worship are offered to the Father in Your Name as we offer Your Holy Sacrifice to Him who finds its fragrance most pleasing and acceptable.
From day to day, from sunrise to sunset, and from one generation to the next, until You come again this Sacrifice of Praise, Worship, Thanksgiving, and Adoration will be offered. The power of this Sacrifice sustains the world and keeps all in it alive.
Thank You, Beloved, for all You have done for us. May we never fail to give You all the glory, honor, and thanksgiving that is due to You and may we teach our children and children's children that without this awesome celebration of the Most Holy Eucharist the world will wither and die.
Matthew 24:42-51
My Love, Beloved of my soul,
May we listen to Your Word today, receive it with joyful hearts, and keep its message alive. We are given all we need to combat evil. With Your help, and Your grace we will overcome. We have Your promises Beloved that no harm will ever approach those whom You have claimed for Yourself. We believe, and believing, we are saved.
Jesus said to his disciples:
"Stay awake!
For you do not know on which day your Lord will come.
Be sure of this:
if the master of the house
had known the hour of night when the thief was coming,
he would have stayed awake
and not let his house be broken into.
So too, you also must be prepared,
for at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come.
"Who, then, is the faithful and prudent servant,
whom the master has put in charge of his household
to distribute to them their food at the proper time?
Blessed is that servant whom his master on his arrival finds doing so.
Amen, I say to you, he will put him in charge of all his property.
But if that wicked servant says to himself, 'My master is long delayed,'
and begins to beat his fellow servants,
and eat and drink with drunkards,
the servant's master will come on an unexpected day
and at an unknown hour and will punish him severely
and assign him a place with the hypocrites,
where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth."
