Gospel Lk 12:35-38
Jesus said to his disciples:
"Gird your loins and light your lamps
and be like servants who await their master's return from a wedding,
ready to open immediately when he comes and knocks.
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.
And should he come in the second or third watch
and find them prepared in this way,
blessed are those servants."
Reflections:
This parable is an indication of our lives as servants of God. Jesus has called each one of
us to serve God who is ready to reward those who have laboured in his absence, and are awake and
alert . Jesus is a loving redeemer and protector. Our Master’s return will be glorious for those who believe in him and have sought to know him through prayer, the scriptures and following the path he showed. On that day, he will acknowledge how hard we have worked for him and shower us
with love and eternal life.
Activity:
As faithful servants prepare yourself each day in order to stand alert at the service of the Master through service of others.
