Focus on Sunday
"Be ready for action!" That's what Jesus is saying in this weeks gospel.
“Blessed are the alert,” he says. Be alert to the world around you and notice what needs doing today. There's an urgency about Christian living. “Give alms … be dressed for action and have your lamps lit…Blessed are those whom the master finds alert.”
We delay when we put off telling someone we love them, or that we are sorry we hurt them. We're napping when we put off visiting the sick or feeding the hungry. We delay when we avoid taking action on an important local issue. Each day we live in the shadow of eternity, and Jesus calls us to make each day fit to be our last.
All this brings to mind the words of poet Henri– Frederic Amiel:
Life is short, and we do not have much time to gladden the hearts of those with whom we travel the way. So be swift to love, and make haste to be kind, . .
See you Sunday!
