Be vigilant at all times and pray

“Be vigilant at all times and pray that you have the strength to escape the tribulations that are imminent and to stand before the Son of Man.” (Lk 21: 36)

We have our complicated ideas and “know how” strategies to find time for prayer. From Our Lord’s perspective this should be very simple: “be vigilant at all times and pray.” It means there is never a bad time or even a lack of time for prayer. It needs only our being “vigilant”: free, creative and joyful.

“Be vigilant at all times and pray that you may have the strength to stand before the Son of Man.” (Gospel Acclamation)
