"Let us get up then, at long last, for the Scriptures
rouse us when they say: "It is high time for us to arise from sleep"
(Rom 13:11). Let us open our eyes to the light that comes from God and
our ears to the voice from heaven that every day calls out this charge:
"If you hear God's voice today, do not harden your hearts" (Ps 94
[95]:8). And again: "You that have ears to hear, listen to what the
Spirit says to the churches" (Rev 2:7). And what does the Spirit say?
"Come and listen to me, sons and daughters; I will teach you the fear of
the Lord" (Ps 33[34]:12). "Run while you have the light of life, that
the darkness of death may not overtake you" (John 12:35). (RB, Prologue,
8-13) Additional Resources
