Mt 24:42-51

Jesus tells his disciples that they must be ready for the coming of the Son of Man. He uses stories to explain what he means. A homeowner remains watchful if expecting that a thief is coming. There are those servants who are vigilant and ready for their master’s return and there are those who while away the hours, mistreating others and wasting time eating and drinking to excess.

Lord, come and save us! But in the meantime, show us the way to be in the present preparing ourselves and one another for your coming no matter when.
