Mark 13:32-37

“Therefore, keep awake—for you do not know when the master of the house will come, in the evening, or at midnight, or at cockcrow, or at dawn, or else he may find you asleep when he comes suddenly. And what I say to you I say to all: Keep awake.’

Advent watching

For who and what

do we watch and

wait? And how to

stay awake when

waiting is long?

Only love knows

how; only those who

love stay awake, for

they know their life

depends on hearing

again the voice their

hunger craves, the smile

that cures all fear,

the words that speak

the love their hearts

must hear … and know

for life to be life

for them.

With love we wait

and watch for Love’s

appearing; it is no

burden or task

but eager longing,

for what we know

will come, a waiting

with joy for what

Love … alone

can bring.

Pr. David L. Miller
