Gospel Reflection

Stay awake!
Happy those servants who are alert and ready
when their master comes.

When much is given, more will be demanded.
When a great deal is given on trust,
a great deal more is expected.
Stay awake!

‘Why are you sleeping?’ Jesus said.
‘Rise and pray, that you may be spared the test.’

Gospel Reading - Luke’s preface of dedication

1-2Dear friend who loves God:a

Several biographies of Christ have already been written using as their source material the reports circulating among us from the early disciples and other eyewitnesses. 3However, it occurred to me that it would be well to recheck all these accounts from first to last and after thorough investigation to pass this summary on to you,b 4to reassure you of the truth of all you were taught.

. . . . .Luke 1:1-4
  1. Literally, “Most excellent Theophilus.” The name means “one who loves God.”
  2. Literally, “an account of the things accomplished among us.”

The Lord's Prayer

Our Father in heaven,
     hallowed be your name,
     your kingdom come,
     your will be done,
          on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins
     as we forgive those who sin against us.
Save us from the time of trial
     and deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours
     now and for ever.
Amen.
