Summary: Jesus urges his disciples to be prepared, like servants waiting for their master’s return. Those who remain vigilant will be blessed and rewarded by the master.
Gospel Acclamation: Be vigilant at all times and pray that you may have the strength to stand before the Son of Man. (Luke 21:36)
Jesus said to his disciples: “Gird your loins and light your lamps and be like servants who await their master’s return from a wedding, ready to open immediately when he comes and knocks. Blessed are those servants whom the master finds vigilant on his arrival.
Amen, I say to you, he will gird himself, have them recline at table, and proceed to wait on them. And should he come in the second or third watch and find them prepared in this way, blessed are those servants.”
