Be Prepared at All Times

Following Christ is not an easy task. As Christians, we are all bound to be of service to the Lord. The Gospel for today is telling us all to be vigilant at all times and be prepared to face God and heed His call when the time of His arrival comes.

Luke 12:35-38
35 Jesus said to his disciples: “Gird your loins and light your lamps 36 and be like servants who await their master’s return from a wedding, ready to open immediately when he comes and knocks. 37 Blessed are those servants whom the master finds vigilant on his arrival. Amen, I say to you, he will gird himself, have them recline at table, and proceed to wait on them. 38 And should he come in the second or third watch and find them prepared in this way, blessed are those servants.”

Reflection:

As disciples of Christ, it is truly difficult to follow the call of the Gospel. Are you always prepared to follow what God may have called you to do?
