Awake O Sleeper

Watch! Our Lord beckons to us all multiple times throughout the Gospels to be vigilant, but vigilant for what? For many of us we go through life almost in a dream-like state, without ever realising that we are being robbed of opportunities to grow closer to God and to live for Him by the snares of the world, demonic forces and our own passions. God grants us clarity in many moments of our lives to wake us up so that we may turn, repent and begin anew to take off the old man and pursue Him, the beginning and end of our salvation.
