"The first reading for Mass [last] Tuesday, taken from the Second Letter of Peter, is a warning to us. There's an old spiritual that says, 'God gave Noah the rainbow sign, no more water but the fire next time.' This reading today speaks to us of the 'fire next time' and reminds of the need to be ready for the coming of the Lord."
In a recent commentary, Monsignor Charles Pope (pastor of Holy Comforter-Saint Cyprian Parish,
Washington, DC) reflected on four aspects of teaching contained in the Second Letter of Peter (the patience that is purposeful, the passing that is perilous, the prescription that is proclaimed, and the perfection that is promised).
