“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, when you think of parents who have young children; their radar is always attuned to where their children are and what they are doing.  It becomes second nature.  It is likely 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, may we attune the ear of our hearts  to Jesus’ presence with us !  Jesus will not disappoint us!
