The Night Watchman

The Night Watchman

DAY 21 —“The Night Watchman”


“Welcome again. We are in Day 21 of Advent,
and this is Tiny Advent Parables with Fr. Dominic —
where staying awake becomes an act of love.”


“Today’s parable takes us to a quiet neighborhood…
where a watchman kept vigil.”


“A night watchman walked his usual street route
while the town slept.
One night,
a stranger asked,
‘Doesn’t it get boring?
Nothing ever happens here.’
The watchman smiled,
‘That’s because I’m awake.’
The stranger paused —
his words carried weight.
‘When someone watches,’
the watchman continued,
‘danger passes by
because it knows someone is alert.’
His simple faithfulness
kept many families safe
without them ever realizing it.”


“Advent calls us to stay awake
not with fear,
but with love.
To notice God’s quiet arrivals,
to be attentive to grace,
to keep our hearts open
instead of spiritually asleep.
Watchfulness is not paranoia.
It is readiness.
It is living each day
as if Christ is truly coming —
because He is.”


“So today ask:
‘Where is God asking me to be more awake?’
Whisper:
‘Lord, keep my heart alert to Your coming.’”
