“Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, ‘Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?’ And Jesus answered and said to them: ‘Take heed that no one deceives you.”

The pure of heart will see God, according to the Lord’s infallible word (Mt 5:8),
according to his capacity, receiving as much as his mind can sustain;
yet the infinite and incomprehensible nature of the Godhead remains beyond all understanding.
For the magnificence of His glory has no end (Ps. 144:5),
and as we contemplate Him, He remains ever the same, at the same distance above us.
The great David enjoyed in his heart those glorious elevations as he progressed from strength to strength;
and yet he cried to God: “Lord, Thou art the most High, forever and ever” (Ps. 82:19).
Consecrated Sisters
The word “consecrated” means separated from common use to sacred use; by which a person or a thing is dedicated to the service and worship of God by prayers, rites, and ceremonies. Following in the footsteps of the Mother of God, many females responded to the call of service and virginity. St. Phoebe was a deaconess who helped St. Paul (Rom 16:1-2).
