We're coming to the end of the Liturgical Year and not wasting a minute of preparation time, our Gospel today speaks about vigilance. Jesus warns his disciples to gird their loins and light their lamps to be like servants awaiting their master's return from a wedding, ready to open the gate for him when he knocks. (cf. Lk 12: 35) We tend to think of this as the final knock calling us to the next life, but it could also be the knock calling us to a new level of friendship with Jesus, a new level of service to our families or communities, a new job, a new role, and invitation to "something different." Would we be ready? Could we leave our familiar routine, our comfortable life-styles and take up something more bold and daring? Growth in our spiritual lives means readiness to move, to change, to venture into "uncharted territories". We have nothing to fear; it's Jesus who calls. May we be vigilant, ready and willing to answer with a positive and confident YES!
