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 to call us to fidelity, without falling 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.” Was this exaggerated? Not at all! The day of the Son of man will come to you as well. Or is it that you will live eternally in this world? You would be the first case! And in order not to perish eternally, the best thing is to be permanently worthy of eternal life. Pray, work, love, help... - “They said to him in reply, ‘Where, Lord?’ He said to them, ‘Where the body is, there also the vultures will gather.’” Less asking questions and more working!
