How to Stay Awake - Spiritually
Update: 2025-11-28
Description
Fr. Cajetan Cuddy, O.P. reflects on on Matthew 24 and Jesus’ command to “stay awake.” Two men in the field, two women at the mill—both groups are working, alert, active, and yet Jesus says only one is truly awake. The difference is not physical awareness but spiritual attentiveness.It is possible to live a good life, fulfill duties, and still be asleep to the One who matters most. Prayer is not merely asking for things—it is the raising of the mind to God. By turning our thoughts to Jesus throughout the day, in love and recollection, we remain awake to His coming.
