Today is supposed to be the end of the world.
According to some knuckleheads who appeared on Mark and Brian's morning radio show in LA a while back, there would be earthquakes and a giant volcano and an asteroid. Today.
And lo and behold, all of that is happening, to one degree or another. And today's readings reference apocalyptic stuff and talk of the wonderful signs that we will see. And then there is Florida, which has been the sparring partner for a succession of hurricanes. And Haiti, which has been a living hell for those who reside there.
So maybe today is the end of time. So what? If God is loving and you are His, what does it matter? Left Behind is a well-marketed take on Revelation. But it is also largely irrelevant.
What is more relevant is the pain that the people in Florida and Haiti are living through. What is more relevant is the harm that might come if Mount St. Helens explodes. And what is most important is our response to that.
