Behold the Bridegroom...

Behold the Bridegroom...



Behold! the Bridegroom comes at midnight, and blessed is the servant whom He shall
find watching; and again, unworthy is the servant whom He shall find heedless.
Beware, therefore, O my soul, do not be weighed down with sleep, lest you be given up
to death, and lest you be shut out of the Kingdom.
But rouse yourself, crying:
"Holy! Holy! Holy! art Thou, O our God. Through the Theotokos, have mercy on us!"
