WEEK 4: "ARE YOU PREPARED?" by Fr. Michael Payyapilly V.C.

There are many anointed Lenten online talks and retreats currently. This year, the Friends of Divine 7-part, OUR FAITH JOURNEY WITH JESUS 2021 WEEKLY VIDEO REFLECTION series is a compilation of talks by Fr. Michael Payyapilly V.C.. Parish Priest of Holy Family Church, Doveton, Australia over the past year of how our personal relationship with God must grow and not stay stagnant. 

The fourth video of the 7-part OUR FAITH JOURNEY WITH JESUS 2021 WEEKLY VIDEO REFLECTION SERIES is "ARE YOU PREPARED?" Fr Michael challenges each of us "It is sad that at the Second Coming of Our Lord which is the End Times, many are in fear. Maybe it is because many of us are concentrating on the wrong things."

"Jesus' emphasis on the End Times is not on tomorrow. It is always on today - now! It is not about when He will come. It is, ' Am I prepared whenever it is? Am I prepared today? I cannot have a conversion tomorrow if I don't have a conversion now. Is my life worthy of God today?'"

"We are busy thinking of when the End Times are...if you spend that time preparing your heart to make the Light shine there - isn't that what Jesus wants of us every day?"

"Today if you hear his voice, harden not your hearts. (Hebrews 4:7)"

Divine Australia live-streamed this homily in Oct 2020.

Next Sunday Fr. Michael will proclaim the Word of God on"THE CROSS OF JESUS IS MY  PERSONAL FORGIVENESS STORY."
