From today's Gospel:
“Prepare the way of the Lord,
make straight his paths.”
--Mark 1: 2

commentary: that photo was taken during our college beach weekend at the seminary, we were carrying wood from nearby, in order to prepare a bonfire (you can see the shadow of the wood we were carrying). We were working in order to be ready for the events to come later on that evening. As the second reading reminds us: Work, but be ready, for the day of the Lord will come like a thief.

Lord, give us work until our life is over, and life until our work is done.
