Pray at all times and be Vigilant.
"Jesus said to his disciples:
“Beware that your hearts do not become drowsy from carousing and drunkenness and the anxieties of daily life, and that day catch you by surprise like a trap.
"For that day will assault everyone who lives on the face of the earth.
"Be vigilant at all times and pray that you have the strength to escape the tribulations that are imminent and to stand before the Son of Man.” (Luke 21 - 34 - 36).
Saturday December 2nd in the 34th Week of Ordinary Time.
What are your plans for Advent?
"Jesus said to his disciples:
“Beware that your hearts do not become drowsy from carousing and drunkenness and the anxieties of daily life, and that day catch you by surprise like a trap." (Luke 21: 34).
Be careful not to spend the next four weeks before Christmas like the Unredeemed. Parties, shopping, games, etc. If you do, you will miss out on a lot of graces that Jesus Christ has prepared for you this Advent.
You ask: What should I do?
"Be vigilant that you may have the strength to escape the tribulations that are imminent." (Luke 21: 34 - 36).
"Be vigilant" means: Be alert and watchful through prayer, worship, songs and praises like someone waiting for the arrival of a very important guest.
"Marana tha! Come, Lord Jesus!" (Revelation 22: 20).
“These words are trustworthy and true, and the Lord, the God of prophetic spirits, sent his angel to show his servants what must happen soon.” (Revelation 22: 6 - 7).
The maxim of St Augustine seems appropriate here:
"If you pray well, you live well. If you live well, you die well. If you die well, all is well."
Get a good Advent Plan. Happy Advent friends.
