 | | Watch therefore - for you do not know when the master of the house will come, in the evening, or at midnight, or at cockcrow, or in the morning - lest he come suddenly and find you asleep. |
 | | But during the Advent season, the people of the Church try to capture the frame of mind of the people who were waiting for the Messiah to come over 2000 years ago. |
 | | And during Advent, we try to connect with that faith, because it can help us to understand what Jesus was saying in these verses: that it's always a long haul; that no matter what period of time you live in, faith is always about patience, and watchfulness, and endurance, and stewardship. |
