Lc 12, 35-38
En aquel tiempo, Jesús dijo a sus discípulos: "Estén listos, con la túnica puesta y las lámparas encendidas. Sean semejantes a los criados que están esperando a que su señor regrese de la boda, para abrirle en cuanto llegue y toque. Dichosos aquellos a quienes su señor, al llegar, encuentre en vela. Yo les aseguro que se recogerá la túnica, los hará sentar a la mesa y él mismo les servirá. Y si llega a medianoche o a la madrugada y los encuentra en vela, dichosos ellos".

Gospel
LK 12:35-38
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.”
“Gird your loins and light your lamps
and be like servants who await their master’s return from a wedding,

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.”

Meditacion:
"Esten despiertos y vigilantes..." en estos dias leeremos varias veces evangelios referido a este tema, a no distraerse en el camino de elevacion de nuestra alma.
Hemos creado una sociedad en la que la distraccion y el consumo es lo mas importante; parece como si otras cosas como nuestro trabajo incluso queda en segundo plano.. aun en horas de trabajo, consultamos en nuestro celular el facebook o respondemos un mensaje de whatsapp. o vemos un corto video... constantemente estamos consumiendo contenidos que alimentan nuestra almas no siempre con el mejor mensaje.
Y hace mas de 2000 años atras ya Jesus advertia esta tendencia a la distraccion constante y nos prevenia.
Esa atencion de la que habla el evangelio es una mirada siempre atenta y siempre critica sobre nuestra propia vida... estamos haciendo lo correcto?, estamos tomando los pasos para ser mejores? somos mejor personas hoy que ayer?
Fijense que no hablamos aca de practicas espirituales, hablamos de algo aun mas basico... ser buena personas con los que nos rodean porque por alli se comienza.
Entonces una cosa llevara a la otra y nos veremos pronto en un camino en el Jesus estara con nosotros.
“Señor, ayúdanos a servirte fielmente para que en el último día recibamos el más excelente de los premios: el gozo supremo de tu presencia.” Amen

"Be awake and vigilant ..." In these days we will read several times gospels referring to this topic, not to be distracted in the way of elevation of our soul.
We have created a society in which distraction and consumption is the most important; it seems as if other things like our work even remain in the background .. even during work hours, we consult our cell phone on facebook or answer a whatsapp message. or we see a short video ... we are constantly consuming contents that feed our souls not always with the best message.
And more than 2000 years ago, Jesus warned of this tendency to constant distraction and prevent us.
That attention of which the gospel speaks is an attentive and always critical look at our own life ... are we doing the right thing? Are we taking the steps to be better? Are we better people today than yesterday?
Notice that we do not talk here about spiritual practices, we talk about something even more basic ... to be good people with those around us because that's where it starts.
Then one thing will lead to the other and we will see each other soon on a path where Jesus will be with us.
"Lord, help us to serve you faithfully so that on the last day we receive the most excellent of prizes: the supreme joy of your presence." Amen
