Introduction to the Celebration
The gospel
today reminds us that we must ‘stand ready’ for the return of the Lord. We must
be people who are ‘dressed for action’ and have our ‘lamps lit’ and be those
who are ‘found awake’. Let us reflect on how we are often not quite up to the
mark or have ‘postponed till later’ the call to witness to Jesus.
Gospel
Notes
While this
material is not found only in Luke, it is so transformed by him that it can be
treated as if it were found only in his gospel. Verse 35 marks the beginning of
a section on watchfulness and faithfulness so that the disciples are ready for
the moment when ‘the Son of Man’ returns. However, the internal elements seem
to concern those who are the servants and stewards of the community: if they do
their task well and persevere in it, then they will be rewarded with a reversal
of roles. Having been servants of the master’s table, then they will be given
seats and waited upon by the master. Meanwhile, they must be careful in how
they carry out their tasks for they do not know when he will return.
