In today’s gospel, Jesus reminds us that
we have to be always prepared and be watchful for the son of man may come
anytime. The coming of the Lord has two
meanings. First in our own death and the
second is when He comes to judge the living and the dead.
Many times we practice the act of
preparing, especially us Filipinos, for we are known for our being very
hospitable. When we have visitors,
relatives and good friends or even just new acquaintances, we always get out of
our ways to prepare the best for them.
The best accommodations, foods and we wear our best outfits and attires
upon greeting and in welcoming them.
In relations to the gospel, we should
prepare ourselves spiritually for our Lord Jesus Christ’ coming. We can do this by cleansing ourselves from
sin. Through the gift of reconciliation
or confessions, our sins are forgiven.
Next is attending the Holy Mass every day, if possible and praying
unceasingly. Another way is doing acts
of charity, doing good favors to our families and to others and by sharing our
blessings to them especially to the poor.
Our Lord Jesus Christ is very much
interested with our spiritual state rather that what we have achieved in our
lives when we come to meet Him. He will not ask us if are college graduate, if
we are achievers and if we are rich or poor.
In this advent season, let us prepare
ourselves, our best, spiritually for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Let us welcome Him with open arms and a
joyous heart.
