Memorial of Saint Elizabeth of Hungary

Luke 17:26-37




*Friends, in today's Gospel passage the Lord compares the clueless behavior
of our time with that of Noah. Listen to his warning: "Jesus said to his
disciples, 'The coming of the Son of Man will repeat what happened in
Noah's time.'" Those aren't very reassuring words.Then he specifies: people
were eating and drinking, marrying and being given in marriage right up to
the time of the flood. And then, when it came with shocking suddenness,
they were destroyed. The end of an old world had arrived, but the
inhabitants of that world were clueless. A new world was coming, but the
prospective citizens of it had no idea how to prepare for it. Our version
of Noah's world-destroying flood might be the crashing of a huge comet into
the earth. What if we knew that a comet was coming, but we did nothing
about it, we adjusted in no way to it? This was the situation of those in
Noah's time and, Jesus suggests, those in his own time. And it's our
situation, too. We must prepare for the Lord's coming by patterning our
lives on the Gospel.*
