Today’s Gospel presents the image of dutiful and faithful servants who remain ready for the arrival of their Master from the wedding feast. It invites us to ask: Are we living in anticipation of that beautiful day when we will meet the Lord face to face? The prophet Micah reminds us of what God asks of us: to act justly, love tenderly and walk humbly with our God. Readiness for the Lord is not simply about waiting; it is about how faithfully we live each day. The first reading reminds us that we who were once alienated from God and without hope in the world have, through Christ, been brought near by His blood. He has broken down the walls of hostility and welcomed us into the great family of God. Through His death and resurrection, we have become temples of the Holy Spirit. We do not have to struggle to become what God calls us to be. The Holy Spirit empowers us. When our lives are surrendered to Him and guided by the Spirit, we are ready for the Master.

PRAYER: Abba Father, may we be powerful witnesses of the love of Jesus. Amen.
