By Fr. Nnamdi Moneme, OMV, Catholic Exchange - The season of Advent calls us to watch and wait always for the glorious return of Christ in obedience to Jesus’ words to us, “Watch, therefore; you do not know when the Lord of the house is coming, whether in the evening, or at midnight, or at cockcrow, or in the morning.” But because our watchfulness for Him cannot be automatic, Jesus also gives us all work to do for Him so as to please Him and thus grow in our desire for Him, “He places His servants in charge, each with his own work, and orders the gatekeeper to be on the watch.” To the extent that we work for His pleasure, our desire for Him will be intense enough to endure the long wait for His return.
