Fr. Chris Alar, MIC, reminds us of a sobering truth: death is not the end — it’s the moment the Master comes for us. In today’s readings, we hear both the cause and the cure for death. Through one man, sin entered the world, and through sin, death. But through Christ, the new Adam, we are given the remedy: to be ready, vigilant, and in a state of grace when He comes.

Father Anthony acknowledges the importance of repentance and taking responsibility for our sins so that we can live in accordance with His will.

Father Anthony encourages us to come to God with a contrite and humble heart so as to seek His grace.
