Prayer on Fire Gospel Lesson
He turns from money to readiness. Stay dressed for action. Keep the lamps burning. Be like servants waiting for the master to come back from a wedding.
Where this sits
This is what replaces the barn. The wait is the life.
The wait is the work
Blessed are the ones he finds awake, in the second watch or the third. The surprise is his response. He will gird himself, sit them down, and serve them. Readiness is not grim. It is met by his own table.
What to take
Live as if he could knock tonight. Expect welcome rather than inspection.
