Reading the Signs

Gospel of Luke, Chapter 12, verses 54-59On this Feast of St. John Paul II, Jesus invites the people to learn how to read the signs of the times to the degree that they are able to read the meteorological signs all around them.  Well, you know that they are us.  That same challenge lies at our door.  Are you able to read the signs of the times?  And are you able to see where they might lead?  And beyond seeing, are we able to impart a new vision for those around us?  We are baptized priest, prophet and king.  Jesus's challenge invites us to step into that prophetic role.We also look at the life and legacy of St. John Paul II.  St. John Paul, pray for us!
