To live in the presence of God. What we should not forget.

What do we consider our treasures? Why?
Jesus tells us clearly and emphatically: “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” (Mt 6:21). Jesus encourages, guides, directs, directs, and takes care of his “little flock”, the Church. This is what Jesus cares about so that the Church takes the most correct attitude towards the world. The Church must guard its teaching, which God has entrusted to it, that is, the Church must be vigilant and always be ready to fulfill God’s will. Jesus gave the Church the gift of words of encouragement: “Have your loins girded and your lamps fastened” (Lk 12.35). We are taught the responsibility of knowing God’s will. If we live in the presence of God, then moths, rust, and thief do not destroy our treasure.

Some religions greet each other: “Memento mori.” – Remember death.”
A greeting for us as a call and an address, so that we too live in the constant presence of God. In today’s society, both in the economic, cultural, political, and sports fields, the principle of staying awake, being vigilant, being on guard if we want to prove something, succeed, and gain – more vigilance means lasting, eternal values. It is therefore a challenge for us in spiritual matters that the Lord, that is Jesus, finds us at his coming to be awake when he knocks, that is in the hour of our death. The words “blessed shall be” those whom he finds ready, watching, speak of the reward that Jesus himself “will gird himself, and seat them, and shall minister.” That is the reward of a wise steward who faithfully discharges his duties.

Our time is more often, more and more talked about as apocalyptic. We have signs that call us to be vigilant. We must have a burning heart. In natural life, we can recognize the steps of the expected. Shouldn’t this apply in the spiritual life? How often are the words of a preacher, confessor, or exerciser such steps for us? We know it’s not a scare. To live in the presence of God, it is enough to read today’s Gospel again. It is worth renouncing everything that means nothing before God. Take up your cross and follow the Crucified One. Let’s mature to a state in our life, to live whole and completely with God. Indeed, only He can give us the real thing that we need. He cannot disappoint, lead astray, or promise what He cannot fulfill… He is truly the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
He realizes that there are also false prophets, wolves in sheep’s clothing, bloodthirsty hyenas, trained fraudsters, and killers of human happiness in our surroundings… We need to live in the presence of God and help others so that they are not led astray and deceived by the aforementioned.
