From today’s second reading:
But the day of the Lord will come
like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a mighty roar and
the elements will be dissolved by fire, and the earth and everything done on it
will be found out.
-2
Peter 3:10
That simile, to “come like a thief,” has such
great resonance. It is so powerful, and
then the imagery of disintegration sends shivers down ones spine. Peter is referring to the end of times of
course but it can also be read as our mortal end.
