Faith in God and Readiness to meet Him The central theme of this Sunday’s readings is
the faith in God and vigilant readiness to meet with Him. The first reading helps us to understand the faith-‐filled preparedness of the ancient Hebrew slaves in Egypt before their journey to the Promised Land. Their trusting faith in Yahweh gave them hope. Their faith and hope resulted in their liberation. The Second Reading helps us to understand Faith as “the realization of what is hoped for and evidence of things not seen.” It tries to encourage the Faith of the Jewish Christians by appealing to the example of the life Abraham.
In the Gospel, Jesus challenges his disciples to trust the Father’s promise to give them eternal happiness in His kingdom. Using the master-‐thief parable Jesus warns us to be on our guard so that the devil, may not steal our treasure of Divine grace or relationship with God by his temptations. Using the master-‐servant parable, Jesus reminds us always to do the will of God by obeying Jesus’ commandment of love, offering humble and sacrificial service to others.
We always need to be prepared to meet Our Lord as our just and merciful judge. Let us always remember the words: "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will enter his house and dine with him and he with me" (Revelation 3:20). Since nobody is sure about the time and circumstances of his or her death we must be ever prepared to face Jesus our Lord and Savior as our Judge at the moment of our death to give an account of our lives.
Jesus, help me to grow in holiness and be with me in the difficult moments of my life to remain in your Grace and be ready always to see you face to face.
Fr. Mariadas Chatla
