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".

GospelLK 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,
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."

Meditacion:
"Esten listos" dice Jesus y a todos nos entra un miedito por la espalda. Porque no sabemos que sucedera, como ni cuando. Muchos deciden pasar por esta vida como un eterno carnaval, "vida hay una sola y hay que disfrutarla" dicen. Estar preparado exige disciplina, ser consistente, "estar en la jugada" todo el tiempo.
Para mi se trata de vivir en la gracia de Dios, caminando sus caminos con esta mirada cargada de misericordia y amor por el projimo con que Jesus caminaba la tierra.
Y es entonces que Dios nos sorprende. Anoche mismo, charlando con una mujer que esta pasando una situacion personal muy dificil le decia que orarara al Espiritu Santo para que le ayudara a tomar las decisiones que la vida le esta pidiendo. Caminar en la gracia, confiar en Dios nuestros problemas, ayudar a otros y dejar y confiar que El se encargara. Ese es el tipo de preparacion que el evangelio nos pide hoy.
Entonces, cuando sea nuestro tiempo de partir, podremos decir como dice el dicho "Nada temo porque nada debo"
No pongas límites a lo que Dios puede hacer por ti, en ti y a través de ti. La vida iluminada por el Señor está llena de sorpresas.
“Amado Jesús, quiero estar listo para recibirte, como sea que llames hoy a mi puerta.” Amen

"Be ready," says Jesus and we all get a little bit in the back. Because we don't know what will happen, like or when. Many decide to go through this life as an eternal carnival, "there is only one life and you have to enjoy it" they say. Being prepared requires discipline, being consistent, "being on the play" all the time.
For me it is about living in the grace of God, walking his ways with this gaze full of mercy and love for the neighbor with whom Jesus walked the earth.
And it is then that God surprises us. Last night, chatting with a woman who is going through a very difficult personal situation told her to pray to the Holy Spirit to help her make the decisions that life is asking for. Walk in grace, trust in God our problems, help others and leave and trust that He will take care of it. That is the kind of preparation the gospel asks us today.
Then, when it is our time to leave, we can say as the saying goes "I fear nothing because I owe nothing"
Do not put limits on what God can do for you, in you and through you. The life enlightened by the Lord is full of surprises.
“Beloved Jesus, I want to be ready to receive you, whatever you knock on my door today.” Amen
