The First Sunday of Advent

Matthew 24:36-44

Jesus said to the disciples, “But about that day and hour no one knows,
neither the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. For as
the days of Noah were, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. For as
in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying
and giving in marriage, until the day Noah entered the ark, and they
knew nothing until the flood came and swept them all away, so too will
be the coming of the Son of Man. Then two will be in the field; one
will be taken, and one will be left. Two women will be grinding meal
together; one will be taken, and one will be left. Keep awake therefore,
for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. But understand
this: if the owner of the house had known in what part of the night the
thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let
his house be broken into. Therefore, you also must be ready, for the Son
of Man is coming at an unexpected hour.”
