In this homily given on the First Sunday of Advent (Dec 3 2023), Fr Mathias preaches on being watchful and awake for the coming of Christ upon our own death when each of us will be judged by Christ on our love. The biggest temptation to spiritual sleepiness is a kind of worldliness that is nothing other than a self-absorbed rejection of God and his call to love that blinds us to the value of eternity.

Since being worldly usually involves some sort of deception or trickery and since we don't know when we will die, we need to stay awake in our faith and the call to love. Fr Mathias ends his homily by challenging everyone to live as if this is the last day of our lives and offers some ways of living in the present moment. If we're living as if every day is our last and we're alive in Christ, then the coming of Jesus at our death is a joyful time of reward for having faith in Christ and entry into eternal life.
