What does the Word of God tell us this Sunday? November 8th 2026

Once again, God’s Word calls us to be prepared for when it is our turn to leave this life and give an account to God. As believers, it invites us to live according to the wisdom that springs from faith, wisdom that involves moderation, prudence, patience, and balanced decisions in all that we do.

To keep awake is to be prepared for when it is our turn to meet the Lord. But the darkness of the night causes fear, and that is why it is necessary to keep the light of faith burning. I ask myself, which of the two groups do we resemble? Are those who are prepared, are alert, for when the Lord comes? Or are we rather the group of the trusting who think that we do not need anything for the journey?
