Great teacher, who grants to us your perfect wisdom, help us to recognize the signs of what is to come, that we would interpret well what is happening and be prepared for all that will be, through you who gave us great gifts of knowledge and presence and love and now prepares for us a place with the Father and Holy Spirit above. Amen.
‘Then he told them a parable: “Look at the fig tree and all the trees; as soon as they sprout leaves you can see for yourselves and know that summer is already near. So also, when you see these things taking place, you know that the kingdom of God is near.”‘ – Luke 21:29-31
