Just as in the Days of Noah: Jesus is inviting us to Get Onboard (Mt 24:37-44)

The world with all its distractions has a way of sweeping us along so that we don’t stop and pay attention to what’s important. Just as in the days of Noah, when the people were too busy to listen to Noah’s invitation to get on the ark, today Jesus is the one Noah prefigured, inviting us into the church, which the ark prefigured. Advent is the time when we clean our house, that is get rid of the clutter in our lives, and focus on what is really important, our salvation, and sharing in Jesus’s mission.
