No One Knows the Day or Hour

32 “But of that day and hour ano one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the bFather.  
33 aTake heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time is.  
34 aIt is like a man going to a far country, who left his house and gave bauthority to his servants, and to each his work, and commanded the doorkeeper to watch.  
35 aWatch therefore, for you do not know when the master of the house is coming—in the evening, at midnight, at the crowing of the rooster, or in the morning—  
36 lest, coming suddenly, he find you sleeping.
37 And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch!”

Mark 13:34

Left his house - , family. Our blessed Lord and Master, when he ascended to heaven, commanded his servants to be faithful and watchful. This fidelity to which he exhorts his servants consists in doing every thing well which is to be done, in the heart or in the family, according to the full extent of the duty. The watchfulness consists in suffering no stranger nor enemy to enter in by the senses, which are the gates of the soul; in permitting nothing which belongs to the Master to go out without his consent; and in carefully observing all commerce and correspondence which the heart may have abroad in the world, to the prejudice of the Master' s service. See Quesnel.
