Being awake (Fr. Ron Rolheiser OMI)


  Being alert, awake, and vigilant in the biblical sense is not a matter of living in fear of the world ending or of our lives ending.  
   Rather it is a question of having love and reconciliation as our chief concerns, of thanking, appreciating, affirming, forgiving, apologizing, and being more mindful of the joys of living in human community and within the sure embrace of God.
