For daily readings, see http://www.usccb.org/nab/120107.shtml
Fittingly, for the last day in ordinary time, we have apocalyptic readings. Be ready. Be ready. Be ready. If we truly believe the kingdom of God has come among us in its fullness through Jesus Christ, and that He is really and fully present to us through the sacrament of the Eucharist, then this is no time to be complacent! The kingdom of God is among us, and woe to us who become drunken or drowsy in this time of grace and fulfillment! Christians who live in an awareness of the presence of Jesus in their lives always become more concerned about their sins of omission than about their sins of commission. It is true that we commit many sins, but Jesus warns us that perhaps our greatest weakness is our drowsiness, and inability to see the kingdom of God among us. Lord Jesus, make us vigilant! We want to see your face!
