Welcome to our daily Rosary meditation. Let's begin in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Amen. Let's call to mind all those we've promised to pray for.

Every Sunday in the Creed we say that Jesus will come again in glory to judge the living and

the dead and he repeatedly says that the time for judgment is coming and then we don't know when it's coming. This is true for the

universe and for every individual human soul. The end of time is coming and when that will be no one knows and the end of your time is coming and when that will be no one knows. Jesus gives a lot of powerful

illustrations of this fact but especially in a certain passage in Matthew's

gospel. Listen to how he puts especially in a certain passage in Matthew's Gospel.

Listen to how he puts it.

For as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.

In those days, before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying

and giving in marriage up to the day that Noah entered the ark. They did not know until the flood came and carried them all away.

So it will be two at the coming of the Son of Man. Two men will be out in the field, one will be taken and one

will be left. Two women will be grinding at the mill. One will be taken and one will be left.

Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know on which day your Lord will come.

Our time is coming. It's coming soon. The time when we'll face God directly and have to give an account of everything.

And we don't know when that time will be until it's already here.

Our Father who art in heaven, Hollowow would be your name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us to stay our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us

and lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil, Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee,

blessed art thou among women.
