Hurry, while you have the light of life, so that death’s darkness may not overtake you.Īnd the Lord as he seeks the one who will do his work among the throng of people to whom he makes that appeal, says again: Which of you wants to live to the full who loves long life and the enjoyment of prosperity? And, if when you hear this you say, I do, God says to you: If you desire true and everlasting life, keep your tongue from evil and your lips from deceit turn away from evil and do good seek peace and pursue it. And what does the Spirit say? Come my sons, listen to me I will teach you the fear of the Lord. Our eyes should be open to the God-given light, and we should listen in wonderment to the message of the divine voice as it daily cries out: Today, if you shall hear his voice, harden not your hearts and again: If anyone has ears to hear, let him listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches.
So we should at long last rouse ourselves, prompted by the words of Scripture: Now is the time for us to rise from sleep. For we must always serve him with the good things he has given us in such a way that he may never, as an angry father disinherits his sons or even like a master who inspires fear, grow impatient with our sins and consign us to everlasting punishment, like wicked servants who would not follow him to glory. Whenever you begin any good work you should first of all make a most pressing appeal to Christ our Lord to bring it to perfection that he, who has honored us by counting us among his children, may never be grieved by our evil deeds.
