First Sunday in Advent

FCC0372C-8F0B-42A3-A9D5-E1EEEB46F54D

Non erubescam neque irrideant me inimici.
Mei eternim universi qui te expectant.
Let me not be put to shame say I.
Do not let my enemies laugh at me for an instant.

Of two men in the fields, one is taken, one left.
Of two women at the millstone, one is taken, one left.
We are not caught in this cleft.
We will not be left bereft.

If the householder had known at what time.
The burglar would come.
he would have  stayed awake and kept time.
Taken , there would have been not one breadcrumb.

Will I be ready at the last.
Have always maintained the fast.

……

Coming at an hour
When you do not expect him
But yes he will come

……

See The Introit at Today’s Mass and  Matthew 24: 37-44
