We often hear “kukunin ka na ni Lord”. Obviously, the intention of the
person is to make fun of the situation, and it is a joke wishing the death of
another person. This is certainly objectionable, and though we may not be
students of theology or higher learning about our faith, the point is that the
name of the Lord is used in vain, and therefore, a sin.
From a positive and sincerely religious point of view of a devout
faithful, it is a truth – a clear declaration of reality that we should keep in
mind the fact that anytime, we may be called upon to leave this world.
If that happens, are we prepared? If we were told in a manner that
would be in accord with the Catholic faith, that the Lord will already summon
us to the other life, are we ready? What if we are not prepared and we would be
caught by surprise? Does that mean, we don’t end up with eternal life?
Pray that you may be given the grace of repentance, and look forward
immediately to the sacrament of reconciliation. Time is of the essence. Every
moment counts. Act now before its too late.
