INTRODUCTION:
In today’s gospel, Jesus is telling us again what we need to do to gain eternal life. He encourages us to save our riches in heaven, to be watchful servants, waiting for the coming of their masters; to be faithful with all he entrusts in our hands and to be trustworthy. Such a servant will be richly blessed.
PRAYER:
Dear Jesus, strip me of all attachments that would prevent me from making heaven. Give me the grace of steadfast trust in your guidance. May you find me watching and waiting faithfully for your coming.
WHAT TO DO (ACTION):
Jesus loves and trusts you. Do not do anything that will make Him distrust you.
