“Stay awake for you never know when the time will come… !”. Today’s gospel reminds us that we are called to live each day loving those that touch our lives, full of warmth, compassion, forgiveness and joy in each other, especially with our spouse. When we married we made a covenant to love, honour and serve each other. The Gospel calls us to remember that our lives together will not go on for ever and to thank God for the wonderful gift we are to each other, one of the greatest gifts that the Father has given us. Isaiah reminds us, “You are our Father. We are all the work of your hand”. It is therefore so important that we thank God every day for each other.
