To Christ, our Lord and Redeemer, who will appear openly on the last day, let us joyfully pray:
Come, Lord Jesus!
Our Redeemer and Lord, by your birth as a man you freed us from the yoke of the law,
— complete in us the works of your loving kindness.
Come, Lord Jesus!
From us you took whatever served your divinity,
— give us whatever we need to serve you.
Come, Lord Jesus!
Grant the desire we ask of you today,
— inflame our hearts with the fire of your love.
Come, Lord Jesus!
On earth we live with you by faith,
— in glory may we rejoice with you.
Come, Lord Jesus!
Steep the souls of the faithful departed,
— in the dew of your loving kindness.
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.
