Parousia

"And then they will see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. Now when these things begin to take place, look up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near" - Luke 21:27f

Today is the First Sunday of Advent, and this window of the Lord returning in glory is from the church of St Mary de Castro in Leicester.

Coming in Glory

Detail from the retable of St John the Evangelist's church in Cowley, Oxford. The first half of Advent looks forward to the Second Coming of Christ, when He will come in glory to judge the living and the dead.

May He be merciful to us sinners!

Keeping Vigil

"Slumberers, wake, the Bridegroom cometh!
Awake, behold the Bridegroom cometh!
Ye Virgins, wake, to sleep no more.
Midnight hears the shouting voices,
And at the thrilling cry rejoices;
Your lamps now trim, so bright of yore.
Th' advancing train draws nigh;
Lights flash, and bridemen cry:
Alleluia:
Sing ye also,
Alleluia;
And forth to meet the Bridegroom go!"

Translation of Philipp Nicolai's hymn, 'Wachet auf', which is suitable for the First Sunday of Advent. For on this day, we are told to "stay awake, praying at all times for the strength to survive all that is going to happen, and to stand with confidence before the Son of Man" (Luke 21:36).

This window showing the Parable of the wise Virgins, on which Nicolai's hymn is based, is in Melton Mowbray church.
