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.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Abbey
In medieval days the hospitality extended to travelers by the monasteries was of such constant occurrences that the guest-master required a full measure of tact, prudence, and discretion, as well as affability, since the reputation of the house was in his keeping.
The chief duties of the chamberlain of a monastery were concerned with the wardrobe of the brethren, repairing or renewing their worn-out garments, and preserving cast-off clothes for distribution to the poor by the almoner.
Provisions for watching over the public health were enforced, a guard kept over water supplies, stringent measures taken in regard to springs and wells, and the cleansing of ponds and milldams.

 Encyclopedia of Arda: Húrin I   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Húrin I was the son of Belegorn, and descended in right line from Húrin of Emyn Arnen, the founder of the House of Húrin to which all the Ruling Stewards belonged.
Húrin I ruled during the time of the Watchful Peace, during which Sauron had retreated into the East, and the Nazgûl remained, threatening but silent, in Minas Morgul.
The Peace would last long after Húrin's time; it broke with the return of Sauron to Dol Guldur during the rule of Húrin's descendant Denethor I, more than two hundred years after Húrin's death.

Afterwards, the watch on the borders of Mordor ceased.
The next 400 years were known as the Watchful Peace, but in 2460 it ended when Sauron, with increased strength, but still unidentified, returned to Dol Guldur.

Anyone watching from the shore as the great ship passed through those famous narrows between the "toe" of Italy and the island of Sicily, would have seen an impressive sight.
When she felt the explosion, however, she calmly continued preparing a breakfast tray for a nursing sister too sick to eat in the dining room, even though she had no doubt the ship was in danger.
Although the largest ship to sink during World War I, she left no clear cause for outrage, as had the Lusitania, no legacy of tragic symbolism, as had the Titanic.

 Slavery in America
During the great constitutional debates in the late 1780s over what the new nation would look like in the future, it was commonly assumed that slavery would gradually end soon in the next century.
During the colonial era, most enslaved Africans retained as best they could their indigenous African religions or Islam in the cases of those who had come from Muslim countries.

I really liked the references about peace and that the sword has many meanings, of course, depending on who is holding the sword: to defend peace, or to defend property or to defend attacks or to rush in where angels fear to tread.
I try not to hate the members of the present administration, and to pray for those whom I hold responsible for the deaths of so many, and for such irresponsible use of the precious environment, but my rage at them is a real presence, even when I consciously am trying to calm it.

The reasons which appeal to me are the probabilities of the frequent shifting of troops which would prevent continuity of officers or membership and the difficulty of securing quarters where the requisite safeguards might surround the work.
I may mention that during the Spanish-American war my own state chartered a Military Lodge which went to Cuba, and I think it is largely in consequence that we recognize Cuba, Costa Rica, Porto Rico and Peru.

In times of peace there was yet much traffic with the western-march of Rohan.
This was an unfortunate position, for had it put its weight into arranging a political solution in time, the wizard Saruman could not have exploited the brooding conflict, almost to the ruin of both Rohan and Gondor.
To this sudden terror as well as to King Elessar's diplomacy may be attributed that in the Fourth Age the already closely related neighbors this side and that of the river Isen could be reconciled.

One could continue the conceptions of parables and their interpretation that have been set forth during the past 100 years almost without limit without any essential change in the overall impression: it is continually assumed that the synoptic parable tradition contains the central message of Jesus.
