Reflections on the 2Reflections on the 2ndnd
readingreading
 The second reading contains many suggestions on how we
should prepare ourselves for the coming of the Lord.
 The word “love” is the key to prepare.
– Not just the usual “love”, but increased (expanded), more
encompassing, more embracing, more universal, egalitarian love,
not choosy and picky love;
– It is an apostolic love, like that of Paul and companions.
 Another way to prepare is to be blameless.
– Reflect more on what it means to be “blameless in holiness.” It is
the avoidance of sin.
 We may look holy, but deep within, we are full of “holes”
(full of malice, suspicion, greed, hatred, etc.); people
accuse us of slandering and cheating them, etc.
 Are you capable of showing extraordinary love?
