We are cautioned to “Stay awake!” (Mt. 24:42). Sleep is important for the mind and body to properly function. The Lord is calling us to move away from being spiritually indifferent or dead. Each moment of our lives is an opportunity to grow in grace and favour with our God.
Since we are all going to die, then we must be spiritually awake to face the Lord at any time. That is why we use our ‘waking’ moments to do and speak the good we can; forgive as we are forgiven, assist anyone in need and live as children of God who desire His company.
Loving Father, as we stir from sleep, may we use our waking moments to grow deeper in love with You. Help us to nurture our relationship with You in this life, so that when death comes, we are ready to face You and spend eternity in Your house. Amen.
Blessings,
Fr. Howie
