But about that day and hour nobody knows,
not the angels in heaven
nor the the Son, 
but only the Father. 

Watch out.
Be ready. 

For you do not know when is the time. 

It is like a man, on a journey,
having left his house
and having given to his servants
each authority for  their allotted work.
And he commanded the doorkeeper to stay alert. 

So stay alert.

For you do not know when the Lord of the House returns – 
Evening or at midnight or at cockcrow or early in the morning-  
Lest coming suddenly he finds you sleeping. 

What I say to you, I say to everyone – stay alert!

Grant, Lord,
that we may hold to you without parting,
worship you without wearying,
serve you without failing;
faithfully seek you,
happily find you,
and forever possess you,
the only God,blessed now and for ever.
Amen

St Anselm
