(1 Cor. 10:23–28; Matt. 24:34–44)
“Watch, because you do not know at what hour your Lord will come” (Matthew 24:42). To be vigilant does not mean to sit idly by, but, having in mind that the Lord will suddenly come, to behave in such a way and conduct your affairs in such a way that you are ready to meet Him at any moment, without fear of receiving reproach and condemnation. How to do this? Very simple. Walk according to the commandments, without breaking a single one, and if you happen to break one, you must immediately cleanse it with repentance and due satisfaction on your part. Then everything will be clean for us. And do not leave sin in your soul for a moment: repent immediately, cry in your heart and run to your spiritual father to confess and get permission, and then again take up deeds according to the commandments of God. If you zealously set out to be good in life, you will soon improve, just don’t stay in the fall for long. With this order, falls will become less and less frequent, and then they will stop completely, with the help of the all-healing grace of God. Then there will be joyful confirmation that you will not meet the Lord unprepared.
