Daily Readings: Ephesians 2:12-22; Luke 12:35-38


We often prepare for many things in life-travels, birthdays, graduations, interviews—but how often do we prepare for the inevitable: death? True preparation is not just about securing funeral plans but readying our souls to meet the Lord. Are we worthy to join Him at His eternal banquet?

Today's Gospel calls us to be vigilant and ready for the Master’s return. Vigilance means living with Christ at the center of our lives, resisting the temptations of worldly desires, vices, and distractions. 

When we neglect prayer and detach ourselves from Christ, we risk losing our spiritual focus.

In many parts of the world, people no longer prioritize prayer or spiritual readiness, focusing instead on worldly concerns like power, wealth, and control over life and death. But these pursuits only push Christ away from our lives.

Call to Action for Catholic Living: We are reminded today to keep our focus on Christ, live in His peace, and be ever ready for His return. This is our call to action as Catholics.

 

Radio Veritas Asia (RVA), a media platform of the Catholic Church, aims to share Christ. RVA started in 1969 as a continental Catholic radio station to serve Asian countries in their respective local language, thus earning the tag “the Voice of Asian Christianity.”  Responding to the emerging context, RVA embraced media platforms to connect with the global Asian audience via its 21 language websites and various social media platforms.
