Thursday
of the 21st Week in Ordinary Time - Matthew 24:42-51
“Stay awake!” These are Jesus’ words to us today. He tells
us that we do not know the day or the time when the Lord will come to us. Thus, each and every moment we must be awake
and watchful. This may sound impossible
to do. However, I think of parents who
have young children; I assume their radar is always attuned to where their
children are and what they are doing. It
becomes second nature. I assume that each
one us of us also have our radar attuned to the individuals in our lives who
are significant to us.
Today Jesus desires that we also have our radar scanning for
His coming and His presence. The reality is we do not know when, how or through
whom Jesus may come to us or be present to us.
However, staying awake and alert every moment is not easy. Perhaps though, we can enhance our radar
system to be more closely attuned to Jesus’ vibes, to His presence with us. If
we truly desire to be attentive to Jesus’ presence throughout our day, we can
train ourselves to do so just as first-time parents attune themselves to the
presence of a new baby. Today, attune the ear of your heart to Jesus’ presence
with you! Jesus will not disappoint you!
