Hearts drowsy from the anxieties of daily life

“Beware that your hearts do not become drowsy from carousing and drunkenness and the anxieties of daily life, and that day catch you by surprise like a trap.” (LK 21: 34-35)

Our hearts are a special place for our relationship with God and with our dearest relatives. So it is our responsibility to take care of our hearts and protect from “the anxieties of daily life.” One of many ways we do this is to remember our identity—who are we? to Whom do we belong? and pray often with short prayers.

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