1st Sunday of Advent (C)

In the market place of the old German town of Trier, two churches stand adjacent to each other. "Watch and pray" is written under the belfry of one and beneath the belfry of the other the scripture verse in completed, "for you know neither the day nor the hour".  As the clock chimes out the people in the busy street below are reminded that our relatively short time in this world is to be used wisely in preparation for the world to come.
