“Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.” (Mk 13:31)

When heaven and earth pass away, Jesus Christ will come again. At that time, all the people will be judged by Him. The content of the judgment would be just as it was written in the Gospel of Matthew: “You who are blessed by my Father….I was hungry and you gave me food, thirsty and you gave me drink; I was a stranger and you welcomed me, naked and you clothed me; I was ill and you cared for me, in prison and you visited me……whatever you did this for one of the least brothers of mine, you did it for me!” (Mt 25: 34-40)

“My words will never pass away” implies that Christ’s expectations from us will never change.

He wants mankind to love one another.

St. Faustina once said to Jesus: “You want me to forgive my friend but she does not forgive me in return. Do I still need to forgive her?” Jesus replied her: “If your friend does not forgive you, it is my concern of relation with her. Your effort to forgive her is a concern of my relationship with you.”

Let us cherish the people who are close to us; the ones that God gave us. We should love and treat them well just as we would do unto Christ.
