A Prayer of Praise
"We thank you
that your Son himself will come again
in the glory of his majesty
to send the wicked ones
who have not done penance and who have not known you
into the eternal fire,
and to say to all those who have known you and have
adored you and have served you penance:
'Come, you whom my Father has blessed,
take as your heritage the kingdom
prepared for you
since the foundation of the world' (Mt 25:34)." --St. Francis, Rule of 1221, Chapter XXIII
With each coming of Christ (His first and the one yet to come) we are blessed beyond measure. You don't have to wait even a moment longer if you would receive His kingdom right now.
