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.”

Luke 12:35-38

Point for Reflection
“”A Christian is a man or a woman of hope, because he or she knows that the Lord will come. And when this happens, although we don’t know when, no longer will we find ourselves isolated, enemies, but rather as He, through his service, has made us: friends, neighbours, at peace.””
– Pope Francis
