We must be in the continuous expectation of this. If you knew that He would come today, how would He do it?<br \/>\nTell Jesus, &#8220;I need to live every day as if the Lord were coming today. I will live each day as if the Lord were coming today, because I must live in anticipation of His coming. &#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Be Watchful! For you do not know when the Lord will come &#8220;(Mt 24,42).<br \/>\nTo explain this idea better, Jesus tells us a parable: &#8220;If the master of the house knew at what time the thief would come, he would surely watch and would not let his house be broken into&#8221; (Mt 24:43).<br \/>\nAnd he adds: &#8220;Therefore, be ye also prepared! For in the hour when you least expect it, the Son of Man will come &#8221; (Mt 24,44).<br \/>\nIs it clear or not? This is the Word of the Gospel and who proclaims it is Jesus himself.<br \/>\nYour brother,<br \/>\nMonsignor Jonas Abib<br \/>\nFounder of the Can\u00e7\u00e3o Nova Community<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I will live each day as if the Lord were coming today  <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.cancaonova.com\/catholicismanew\/2019\/02\/25\/lord-came-today\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1121,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[141700],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.cancaonova.com\/catholicismanew\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19343"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.cancaonova.com\/catholicismanew\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.cancaonova.com\/catholicismanew\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.cancaonova.com\/catholicismanew\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1121"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.cancaonova.com\/catholicismanew\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19343"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blog.cancaonova.com\/catholicismanew\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19343\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19344,"href":"https:\/\/blog.cancaonova.com\/catholicismanew\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19343\/revisions\/19344"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.cancaonova.com\/catholicismanew\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19343"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.cancaonova.com\/catholicismanew\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19343"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.cancaonova.com\/catholicismanew\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19343"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
