To Christ our Lord, judge of the living and the dead, let us cry out with faith:
Come, Lord Jesus!
Lord, may the world know your justice which the heavens proclaim,
— may your glory fill the earth.
Come, Lord Jesus!
For us you took upon yourself the weakness of man,
— protect us with the strength of your own divine life.
Come, Lord Jesus!
Come to those imprisoned in the darkness of ignorance,
— show them the radiance of your own divine light.
Come, Lord Jesus!
In your humility as a man, you took away our sin,
— now in your glory grant us true happiness.
Come, Lord Jesus!
When you come in glory to judge us,
— gather the dead into your kingdom.
Come, Lord Jesus!

The End of the World: An Advent Reflection
The Catholic Church traditionally teaches us the Four Last Things (Death, Purgatory, Heaven, Hell) and the Second Coming of Jesus Christ during the Season of Advent. However, many Catholics still avert from such topics because they are frightened of these things. My Reflection this Advent on the End of the World aims to give awareness and more insights into these truths, which we must face sooner or later. My piece also includes a Personal Message to my dear Readers.
The Series starts with Saint Teresa of Avila, Doctor of the Church. Who would have thought that the great Mystic and Contemplative used to battle personal sins of worldliness? This piece I wrote contains the narrative of it and a unique ‘My Reflection’ that is thought-provoking and eye-opening.
