Romans 13:11
Douay-Rheims
And that knowing the season; that it is now the hour for us to rise from sleep. For now our salvation is nearer than when we believed.
Francis Patrick Kenrick
This image of awakening from sleep, is to urge them to serve God with re- newed fervour, casting off all slothfulness. " The resurrection is nigh, the formi- dable judgment is nigh, the day on which the fire will be as a burning furnace, is nigh." St. Chrysostom.
