Today the Church puts before us lessons on the first two last things, death and judgment, so that we might prepare well for them, as true Christians.<\/li>\n<li class=\"\">Many of us when we think about death and judgment can be filled with fear, anxiety, even dread. On the surface today\u2019s readings might buttress those trepidations. In the first reading, the Book of Revelation describes the time of judgment as two angels and someone looking like a son of man coming out with sharp sickles in their hands to reap the harvest of judgment, being instructed to use that sickle to \u201ccut the clusters from the earth\u2019s vines, for its grapes are ripe\u201d and then throwing them into the \u201cgreat wine press of God\u2019s fury.\u201d In the Gospel, Jesus describes how all the stones and votive offerings in the resplendent Temple of Jerusalem will be thrown down, how there will be impostors coming and saying deceptively \u201cI am he\u201d and the \u201ctime has come!,\u201d how there will be wars, insurrections, earthquakes, famines, plagues and \u201cawesome sights and mighty signs\u201d from the sky. All of this can make us think that death and judgment will be straight out of a Stephen King horror movie in which we\u2019ve become the victims.<\/li>\n<li class=\"\">But fear is not supposed to be our reaction. Jesus tells us in the Gospel, \u201cDo not be deceived,\u201d \u201cDo not follow them!,\u201d and \u201cDo not be terrified.\u201d He\u2019s describing these events so that we can be at peace while they occur. We see it in St. Matthew\u2019s parallel version of today\u2019s Gospel. After he describes what will happen at the end of time he says, \u201cHeaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.\u201d He wants us to build our lives on his word as the foundation of rock that will keep us secure even when the earthquakes, wars, insurrections, famines and plagues happen. Everything else is like building on sand (Mt 7:24-29). The proper reaction is likewise summarized by the Responsorial Psalm, in which we prayed four times, \u201cThe Lord comes to judge the earth!,\u201d and added, \u201cLet the heavens be glad and the earth rejoice; let the sea and what fills it resound; let the plains be joyful and all that is in them! Then shall all the trees of the forest exult before the Lord, for he comes; for he comes to rule the earth. He shall rule the world with justice and the peoples with his constancy.\u201d <em>We\u2019re to focus more on the Lord\u00a0<\/em>than we do on these events and we\u2019re supposed to focus on him both now and in anticipation of that moment. As long as we\u2019re not being deceived by impostors but living by the Lord\u2019s truth, as long as we\u2019re not following the pretenders but following the Good Shepherd, as long as we\u2019re not focusing on terrors but recognizing that the Lord seeks to tell us, \u201cDo not be afraid, it is I!,\u201d then there\u2019s absolutely no reason to fear death and judgment. In fact, we should look forward to the Lord\u2019s coming and the signs that augur that his second coming is near. It\u2019s only when we\u2019re not really living as the Lord wants in the present that we begin to become afraid.<\/li>\n<li>With regard to our attitude toward the Lord\u2019s coming, I love to tell a story from my childhood. Today is actually the 20,000th day of my life and so, as we prepare for Thanksgiving this Thursday, it&#8217;s a time for me to give thanks for the whole of my life. Today I give thanks for one of the lessons from the time I was a boy. My father would leave for work at 4 am to commute to Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and would come back each day, almost like clockwork, between 4:10 and 4:15 pm. We would all be excited once it got to 4 pm. At about 4:10, we\u2019d hear the brakes squealing on our own Ford Van as it came to a stop and then hear my father shut the heavy steel door. All four of us kids and our black labrador retriever Toby would run to the back door all hoping to be the first person to jump up into my dad\u2019s strong arms and give him a hug, a kiss and a hearty, \u201cWelcome home, Dad!\u201d That was most days. There were several occasions, however, in which we had done something in which my mother said sternly, \u201cI\u2019m going to tell your father what you did when he comes home!\u201d On those days, when it came to be 4 pm, we started sweating even in the dead of winter. When the brakes squealed and the van door slammed, rather than running to greet my father, we would try to find the biggest pile of dirty clothes, or the darkest closet, in order to hide from him! I think this is an appropriate image to describe how we prepare for the Lord\u2019s coming. When we\u2019re living in a way that would make him proud, when we\u2019re living as he would expect, when we\u2019re living with love for him and for others, we can\u2019t wait for him to return. It\u2019s only when we\u2019re behaving in a way we know he wouldn\u2019t approve of, when we\u2019re being naughty, that we dread his return.<\/li>\n<li class=\"\">And so the real lesson of today\u2019s readings is for us to live today how we would want to be found by the Lord if today were the day of the Lord. It\u2019s to live without fear, following him in truth, walking by faith, loving him and others as he taught us. In the image from the Book of Revelation, it means living in such a way that we\u2019re becoming ripe, that our grapes are maturing with Jesus\u2019 own juice poured out in love for God and others leaving nothing back, which happens naturally when we\u2019re living as branches attached to Him the Vine (Jn 15). If we\u2019re living as wild grapes producing sour wine, that will be obvious to everyone, to God and to us in the judgment of the great wine press the Book of Revelation foretells; if, on the other hand, we\u2019re living as we ought, as branches on the vine, we know that the wine we produce will be greater than anything produced by the best vineyards at vintage time.<\/li>\n<li>That\u2019s what the Lord would like to see from us as well. Each day at Mass, Jesus gives us his body and blood and attaches us ever more deeply as branches to Him who is the Vine, so that his very sap, his lifeblood, flows through us, making it capable for us to spend ourselves without reserve for God and others united to Christ who gave everything he had down to the last drop of his blood. Jesus described elsewhere in the Gospels that the judgment will be like a harvest that will take place \u201cwhen the grain is ripe and at once he goes in with his sickle\u201d and how the wheat will be separated from the chaff (Mk 4:29; 13:24-30, 37-43). He wants us to be ready for that judgment so that when the harvest comes we might bear fruit that comes from our union with him. Today at this Eucharist he reminds us, as he did his first followers during the Last Supper, \u201cRemain in me, as I remain in you. \u2026 I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit. \u2026 Anyone who does not remain in me will be thrown out like a branch and wither; people will gather them and throw them into a fire and they will be burned. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask for whatever you want and it will be done for you.\u201d It\u2019s through the Eucharist more than any other means that we abide in Christ and he in us. It\u2019s our union with him here that gives us the faith and constancy we need to spend ourselves fully, not to be afraid, but to follow him in a life of bearing fruit. He promises us that if we remain in him and the words he has given remain in us, then we can ask the Father for anything and it will be done. Today we ask the Father through Christ the Vine to give us the grace to remain faithful and fruitful in life and faithful and fruitful in death. That is the way we\u2019ll have the joy of sharing her eternal prize in that place with the angels will lift their sickles in triumph. And so let us offer the Lord Jesus the fruit of the vine and the work of human hands and ask him not just to transform this matter into himself but through it make us ever more fruitful branches.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>The readings for today\u2019s Mass were:\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"bibleReadingsWrapper\">\n<h4>Reading 1\u00a0<a id=\"\/bible\/revelation\/14:14|\" href=\"http:\/\/usccb.us8.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=b927174dbe854683d4b527f98&amp;id=ce2307a4a5&amp;e=b55e3798ee\">rv 14:14-19<\/a><\/h4>\n<div class=\"poetry\">I, John, looked and there was a white cloud,<br \/>\nand sitting on the cloud one who looked like a son of man,<br \/>\nwith a gold crown on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand.<br \/>\nAnother angel came out of the temple,<br \/>\ncrying out in a loud voice to the one sitting on the cloud,<br \/>\n\u201cUse your sickle and reap the harvest,<br \/>\nfor the time to reap has come,<br \/>\nbecause the earth\u2019s harvest is fully ripe.\u201d<br \/>\nSo the one who was sitting on the cloud swung his sickle over the earth,<br \/>\nand the earth was harvested.<\/div>\n<div class=\"poetry\">Then another angel came out of the temple in heaven<br \/>\nwho also had a sharp sickle.<br \/>\nThen another angel came from the altar, who was in charge of the fire,<br \/>\nand cried out in a loud voice<br \/>\nto the one who had the sharp sickle,<br \/>\n\u201cUse your sharp sickle and cut the clusters from the earth\u2019s vines,<br \/>\nfor its grapes are ripe.\u201d<br \/>\nSo the angel swung his sickle over the earth and cut the earth\u2019s vintage.<br \/>\nHe threw it into the great wine press of God\u2019s fury.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"bibleReadingsWrapper\">\n<h4>Responsorial Psalm\u00a0<a id=\"\/bible\/psalms\/96:10|\" href=\"http:\/\/usccb.us8.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=b927174dbe854683d4b527f98&amp;id=7b47761e23&amp;e=b55e3798ee\">ps 96:10, 11-12, 13<\/a><\/h4>\n<div class=\"poetry\">R.
