Jesus Teaching: Becoming Vigilant

Beware that your hearts do not become drowsy from carousing 
And drunkenness 
          And the anxieties of daily life

 And that day catch you by surprise like a trap
 For that day (of Jesus' Coming) will assault everyone who lives on the Face of the earth

           Be vigilant at all times and pray that you have the strength 

To escape the tribulations that are imminent 
And to stand before the Son of Man [Taken from LK 21:34-36]
