Reflections GOSPEL:
Mark 13:33-37
In this reading, Jesus warns
us of the need to be awake and watchful
for his coming at the end of time and each
day of our lives. He compares himself to
the master of the house who travels far
away. The master places his servants in
charge of the estate, each with his or her
own work. They are put on alert: “May
the master not come suddenly and find you
sleeping.” Be on guard. Stay awake!
Advent should be a time of watchfulness
for us. We must never be asleep to the
daily challenge of Jesus in our
lives.
1.) Why is Jesus asking us to be
watchful?
2.) Why might we sometimes miss the
coming of Jesus?
3.) Jesus has given each of us our
work to do in this world. What is your
work for him now? What kind of work do you
hope to do for him in the future?
4.) Identify three situations in
today’s world that challenge you to
live the Gospel. How can we be an Advent
people, awake to meet those challenges and
attentive to all the ways Jesus comes into
our lives.
