We are called to become holy sleeper agent.
Good evening/morning every one. I am so happy to welcome you all for today's Holy Mass.
Is there anyone new here who comes to this beautiful church first time.
Have you ever heard about sleeper agent or sleeper cell? A sleeper agent is the one who remains dormant in a community until activated, by a prearranged signal, to perform acts of terrorism or sabotage.
These days we hear more about act of terrorism and killing. There are so many sleeper agents are living among us but we do not know them. They can be dormant for years and years and all of a certain, one day as they get their signal, they become human bomb. Then people would begin to say, "O know that man. He used to buy pizza from this store and I used to see him walking with his children to school and so on.
What about Holy Sleeper Agent?
They are called not to cause destruction but to defense humanity, doing great things in the name of the Lord.
We often hear about end-time, punishment and judgment. The Lord who was taken up to heaven, will be coming back. He is a promise-keeper and He will never fail of what he has promised us.
There will be so many signs before His coming. Before His glorious coming, nations will go against nations, people will go against people. There will be natural calamities and disasters.
As people of faith and Holy sleeper agent...how are we going to prepare ourselves?
The seven pillars of Catholic spirituality help us to get ready.
There are so many people coming to church saying, "Wow... look at this beautiful church and the way its decorated and they miss the message and the teaching of the Church. There comes prayer. This is a house of prayer and as we pray and contemplate the love of God and use all the church's sacraments, then we are getting ready to become the holy sleeper agents of the Lord.
Today there are so many false teachers and prophets around and in the name of new age, they lead us away from moral and social truth. If we want to know that truth, all we have to do is just attend the Mass. When we go to Mass, there in the Holy Eucharist happens so many amazing miracles and healing. Our eyes will be opened and we will see the truth.
What should we do when nation go against nation and kingdom against kingdom?
What should we do when so many natural calamites and distractions happen?
One thing that we should know is that the end is not going to come. Christ says that we do not need to be afraid of anything. Instead we have to prepare ourselves spiritually to meet the challenges. The Holy Bible will become our instrument to know more about his teachings and prepare ourselves to welcome the Lord.
The seventh pillar of Catholic spirituality is the Holy Rosary. As we pray the daily rosary, we will not be afraid of death and we will surely know what to say and defend ourselves.
Conclusion:
When we are with the Lord, not even a hair of our head will perish. We will be given strength to face everything. Though our own family members and friends begin to go against us, we will gain our souls by our endurance. Holy sleeper agent means constantly preparing ourselves and one day, we will be activated by the Lord to be His witnesses and until then let us prepare and be ready for that day. Amen.
