So today in Mass we heard the phrase "Gird your loins." So what exactly does that mean? A rough translation is tighten your belt. But what did Jesus mean? Surely He didn't just want us to tighten our belts. He meant be prepared. What do you as soon as you get in a car? Buckle your seat-belt. You are being prepared in case of an accident. Putting on any kind of belt is a sign of being ready for almost anything. So really Jesus is telling us to tighten our belts, He wants us to be ready for when He returns. We don't know when He'll come back, maybe today, maybe tomorrow, maybe a thousand years from now. I really hope it doesn't happen any time soon because it sounds a little scary. ( A subject that I will touch upon in maybe another blog post.) Everybody tighten your belts, go to confession and Mass often and be ready!!!
Whistle while you work,
Emma
