Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 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.”

Be prepared

1. Girded and lamp lit. This means to be dressed ready for service and to keep your lamps burning. In other words, be prepared!  You can’t allow yourself to be slack in your life, don’t neglect what’s important to focus on what’s urgent. Remember that your life depends on your own decisions and just as your life began, it also has an end; but you don’t know when. So, be aware that your life is unique, and that you are writing it. Pay attention to the way you live and make good decisions. 

2. Open to him. God is always coming to your life, and it’s good that your heart should always be ready to open up to him. Let go of your hardness of heart and your bitterness. Open yourself to the new airs that God wants to give you through the Holy Spirit. Let yourself be seized by the Spirit of God so that He may heal your wounds, because He makes all things new.

3. He will wait on them. God is watching over you. His love is so great that He’ll never leave you. Isn’t wonderful to feel God’s love?!  I propose that today you ask the Lord to help you feel his love. At some moment of the day, may He help you to have a moment of tranquility and solitude, so that you can feel the soft breeze of God’s presence in you.  Don’t lose heart, God has prepared great things for your life, keep going!

Remember that something good is on the way! 

God bless you and be with you in the name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
