Gospel
Luke 12:35-38
Be dressed for action and have your lamps lit
Jesus said to his disciples:
‘See that you are dressed for action and have your lamps lit. Be like men waiting for their master to return from the wedding feast, ready to open the door as soon as he comes and knocks. Happy those servants whom the master finds awake when he comes. I tell you solemnly, he will put on an apron, sit them down at table and wait on them. It may be in the second watch he comes, or in the third, but happy those servants if he finds them ready.
Reflection
How happy is the boss when he walks into his office to see his workers working diligently. Today Christ talks about how happy he will be if we look forward to his coming and preparing for it. Unfortunately many of us are distracted by the world so we don't prepare. Where do you stand in your preparation?
Let us pray
Lord Jesus, you loved me first and you gave your life for me. May I continue to prepare myself for I do not know the hour.
Amen
