The days of Noah... This life has a limit; let's work for the Eternal Life

The days of Noah... This life has a limit; let's work for the Eternal Life
Friday of the Thirty-second Week in Ordinary Time
Gospel text
Lk 17:26-37
Jesus said to his disciples: “As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be in the days of the Son of Man"
Gospel's Commentary
Today Jesus continues calling us to fidelity, warning us not to fall asleep. What happened in the days of Noah? "They were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage up to the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all." An exaggeration? No! The day of the Son of Man will come for you too. Or are you going to live forever in this world? You would be the first! And in order not to perish eternally, the best thing is to keep living in a way worthy of eternity. Pray, work, love, help… —"Where, Lord?" they asked Him. He said to them, "Where the body is, there also the vultures will gather." Less asking and more working!
