Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

“Blessed are those servants whom the master finds vigilant on his arrival. “

One practical lesson that can be drawn from the Gospel for the Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time (Sunday, August 11) is that the secret to living out the theological virtue of faith is to see that the here and now is the place and time in which God wants us to meet him and to serve him.

It is not in the past, which is over. It is not the future, which we can only imagine and so is not real.
