From Optina Pustyn, Published on Nov 11, 2014 Behold the Bridegroom comes at midnight, and blessed is the servant whom he shall find watching, and unworthy is the servant whom he shall find heedless. Beware, therefore, oh 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 are Thou O God. Through the Theotokos, have mercy on us. Midnight. Temples, immersed in the silent twilight. Everywhere rest, peace, sleep. The monastery gathers new strength for the coming day ... Suddenly, the invocative bell, breaks out of the frozen nights sleep - awakens, calls forth, leads, reminding: Behold, the Bridegroom cometh, proceed to meet Him (Matt. 25: 6) https://youtube/watch?v=7knB4UEK2N8
