Carmelite homily for Lectionary 495 | Friday, November 15, 2019
Today we have some pretty heavy-duty end of the world stuff where Jesus says if you see these signs don’t even return to the house; and if two are in bed, one will be taken and one will be left; and if two are working, one will be taken and one will be left. Then what are we to do? Saint John of the Cross says, “If the whole world should crumble and come to an end and all things go wrong, endure all with tranquility and with peaceful equanimity.” That’s what we do! It’s all in God’s hands. Endure all with peace and tranquility.
