Watching and Waiting
We do not like to wait. Listening to a radio discussion recently about the ever-increasing role technology plays in our lives, one panellist described how her smartphone had become almost like an extension of her arm. We dont know how to be alone or to have free time anymore, she lamented. If were waiting for a friend or family member, the slightest delay has us reaching for our phones to catch up on emails, social media or the latest news. Delayed flights, or food that doesnt arrive promptly in a restaurant, can make us impatient and jittery. We have lost the art of waiting.
Yet Jesus regularly emphasises the importance of waiting. But it is clear that it is not the sort of waiting where we can sit around scrolling through our phones there is an art to it. We must be awake and dressed for action and have our lamps lit, ready to go. We must be ready to open the door to the master when he knocks.
The waiter described in todays Gospel is a devoted servant, eagerly awaiting his masters return. We dont know when Jesus will return, but we are called to live in constant vigilance and readiness. Let us not be found asleep on the job, or distracting ourselves with the trivial things in life! Tríona Doherty
The National Novena to Our Lady of Knock will take place from the 14th 22nd August. The theme for this year is Merciful like the Father in keeping with the Jubilee Year of Mercy. The Novena will open with Most Rev. Bishop Michael Smith. As part of the Jubilee celebrations of the 150th Anniv as custodians of the Mother of Perpetual Help, the Pilgrim Icon will make a visit to Knock Shrine as part of its annual Novena. The 15th August is a traditional pilgrimage day, with many pilgrims walking to Knock from far and wide as part of their annual ritual. Daily Ceremonies will be streamed live at www.knockshrine.ie/watch.
