"Watch at all times, praying that you may be able to stand before the Son of man" (Luke 21:36)
In the light of every successful event, preparations remain the key word. It is the foundation of the pillar which success and accomplishment rested upon. In the like manner, is the spiritual journey of every man. Preparation and readiness are the basic phenomenon to look into.
Today, Evangelist Luke exhorts us to be ready, keep watch and pray so that we may stand before the Son of man, better still to behold Him as He really is.
In the same vein, Christ Himself in the course of His teaching invites us to a life of preparedness, when he said:
“Blessed are those servants whom the master finds awake when he comes.” (
Beloved friends in Christ, how prepared are you? What is it that preoccupies your mind? In the course of your busy schedule, do you create time to God at least some minutes? When do you pray? Is it when the going is tough? When the world seems to be bleak? When your limbs are weak and sunset at dawn? If these and many are the reasons why you pray, please come back home.
Let situation in life not push us to prayer, rather let us reset our minds to pray always, in good and bad times. For when we do this, we are conscious of how weak we are, and thus putting God at the centre of every event.
Finally, be ready always for you don't know the hour that He will call.
Peace! Be with you.
Fada PIUSRALPH prays for you.
Let us pray
Almighty and eternal God, we are grateful to You for the wonders of our beings. We pray You O! Lord to give us the grace of preparedness, so that we will be alert and ready to behold that day of days with no fear. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
