The Signs

The Signs Of The Times

20 December – The pastoral text of Fr Reuter is this: God left heaven, to be born in a stable. At Christmas time, He leaves heaven, to come to you. If you don’t believe that, look at the photograph. Apt image by KatieBate who captions it not-so-simply ‘Trust’ (flickr.com/). The message in the photograph says, ‘God is closer than you think.’ I’ll call that the Signs of the Times.’ That is the message. If you don’t have your eyes examined, you won’t be able to read the rest of the message, because the next letters become successively smaller and smaller. I just had mine eyes examined and ordered a new pair of glasses, courtesy of an old-gold friend, Dr Tony O, so now I can read the fine print. God is over and above everything; all you need to do is read clearly the signs of the times, down to the littlest details – even if there are shadows darkening some parts.
