If we don't build that personal relationship with Jesus, if we don't consistently build our faith in God, if we are not strongly rooted in Christ, we can get lost easily and may not even recognise Christ when he comes again.
Today, during the Homily at the Church of the Holy Trinity, Fr. Kenson mentioned about two negative examples of Catholics:
1) Supermarket Catholics
2) Catholics for Convenience
Supermarket Catholics, Fr. Kenson said, are not true Catholics. They only choose what to believe in. They choose what is comfortable for them. If we are Catholics as we are called to be, we obey God, we listen to God, and the voice of God comes through the Church. Father then went on to ask everyone pick up a copy of the Catechism of the Catholic Church and tells us that its teachings are very biblical.
For the second category, Catholics for Convenience, are Catholics who only choose to be Catholic when it's convenient for them.
Are we a Catholic, 24/7 ?
It will not be easy to recognize the Christ, unless you understand his teachings.
ReplyDeleteActually the Christ has already returned this year.
You just need to recognize him for yourself. This may not be that easy, since he will appear as an ordinary man until most people acknowledge him. The way to recognize him is thru his words or the message that he brings - the message of peace, brotherhood and justice.
