Vigilate
itaque quia nescitis diem neque horam.
Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.
- Matthew 25:13
The knowledge of God requires an interior vigilance, a spirituality, and an openness of the heart that becomes personally aware, in silence and recollection, that there exists a direct access to the Creator. Nevertheless, it is true that God does not disclose himself to an isolated ego. God does not accept a merely individualistic exclusiveness: our relationship to him is linked to our brothers and sisters.
-Benedict XVI
Once when Anthony was living in the desert his soul was troubled by boredom and irritation. He said to God, 'Lord, I want to be made whole and my thoughts do not let me. What am I to do about this trouble, how shall I be cured?' After a while he got up and went outside. He saw someone like himself sitting down and working, then standing up to pray; then sitting down again to make a plait of palm leaves, and standing up again to pray. It was an angel of the Lord sent to correct Anthony and make him vigilant. He heard the voice of the angel saying, 'Do this and you will be cured.' When he heard it he was very glad and recovered his confidence. He did what the angel had done, and found the salvation that he was seeking.
