I remember meeting a young man once who had an amazing talent for being present to everyone he met. Even as he spoke with people, he was always anticipating their needs. On many occasions, I witnessed his eagerness to make others comfortable: offering them a drink of water, a snack, a place to sit ... no gesture of welcome was ever refused.
Today's gospel passage encourages us to see that the actions of this young man are an example for every one of us to be like servants who await their master's return (Lk 12:36). This is the ideal toward which we are all called. Every day presents us with another opportunity to anticipate the arrival of the Lord - who is present to us in the faces around us.
Be on the lookout today for Jesus who is calling out to you, asking for your help. Be anxious to see his face, to anticipate his needs and to respond to them in the best way possible.
Have a great day.
