the weather life is so bad and those who work outside are having some difficulties like the bee and the breakfast in the morning contains some cereal, also hot cereal, because they otherwise will be difficult. Now let us turn to our local We have finished the first introductory remark and now comes the voice of God, the voice of God, which is the heart of this whole follow. The divine voice itself is introduced as addressing us in order to also naturally begin to emphasize that the whole follow this tends to pierce the heart.

[01:09]

Therefore, with greatest possible emphasis wants to approach us, to impress us, change us, and to lead on the path of God. and therefore nothing can be more powerful than the Word of God itself. And therefore that is the introduction. And first, the first Word of God is that of the We could call it, what is the name there? I mean, that rousing word. It's the word which is intended to arouse the people from sleep. The bugle call, is it known? In German one says, Schattenstreich. Yeah, how is it? Reppley. Reppley. So that is here, you know, but of course, in a higher sense.

[02:33]

So there is... So God was there, who up with us there at last for the scripture around us, saying, now is the hour for us to rise from sleep. And it's beautiful also, if you observe this referee, it's going on in different stages. First is that What preceded is characterized as sleep, because sleep is anything where we do things without being fully aware of their meaning before God, their last end. That is sleeping, because then we are not living in God's light, but we just lose, time flies by, and we don't realize it.

[03:37]

That's therefore the first thing, you know, is that let's get up from sleep. That you will call also that the church uses in the Advent season, the first Sunday of Advent. And then Then we open our eyes and to the divine light and we hear the divine voice. We open our eyes to the divine light. That is that willingness, you know, to take in the doctrine, because that divine light, that actually is the light of wisdom, the true wisdom, which is going to teach us and going to then speak to us. Therefore, with our ears attentive, we should then listen, and then comes again the voice.

[04:39]

But now another step is being taken. Therefore, daily, every moment daily, this divine voice to which we now wake up and which we can now hear as those who are aware, fully aware, in full awareness, They say, Holies, if you watch him today, when you hear his voice, don't harden your heart. And again, qui habet aures audienti, audiat quid spiritus diga ecclesi. And again now, who has ears to hear, he may now listen what the Spirit has to say, or wants to say, to the churches. So in this way again, the next step is introduced.

[05:44]

Now comes, what does he say? The Spirit, benito, fili, timor, and domini, docet. On song, listen, I want teachers, we fear of the teapot. Now that is then solved with that. You have here two words. Maybe I could just run it out. You know, there are, I will teach you, the fear of the Lord, no, they need to come, children, listen to me, I will teach you the fear of the Lord, and the other one, taken from the first, taken from the 33rd Psalm, and the second one then from the Apostles and John, run while you have the light of life, let the darkness of death overtake you. So, therefore, two invitations I will teach to the fear of the law.

[06:49]

That is the voice that invites us to listen to the teaching, and the second one, and then put into practice what you have learned. learned and run as long as the light is fair, as we have said, lumen, we lift up our eyes to the divine light, lest the darkness of death overtake you. So that is then the invitation not only to listen to the teaching, but also then to learn. Now the first word to listen to the teaching corresponds to the following paragraph. That is the implementation of the first, I will teach you the fear of the Lord, The next one, let us therefore gird our loins with faith and the performance of good works and following the guidance of God to walk in his path.

[08:10]

Use the fulfillment of the second one while you have the life of life, lest the darkness of death overtake you. Now there appears then in that first quotation, come ye children, hearken unto me, I will teach you the fear of the Lord. There comes the psalm 33 and that psalm 33 is or is it 32 i always get mixed up between people and Psalm 33, which I think is underlying this whole idea here because you find that later on it would be put just in this connection to read Psalm 33. I think that was mainly in the light of St. Benedict inviting this first part of this invitation because there is the

[09:14]

See, that is the Psalm 33. Go and go to him, draw near to him, and you will be illumined. and Illumina meaning the divine light or the divine wisdom because Psalm 33 is for that matter in the second part a wisdom psalm and then that is sung because it was so familiar it's one of the most popular psalms for the ancient Christianity and it's the psalm that so often accompanied and made the framework of Holy Communion so it was the invitation really to the Servi Domini to the servants ministers of the Lord to the poor ones to the humble ones to the holy ones that means to the Christians all these names and titles occur in Psalm 33 was the invitation of the faithful

[10:27]

to approach the altar to receive Holy Communion and therefore also so beautiful the use of this psalm and the explicit and extended use of the psalm in this first part of the invitation so first that rousing word Get up from sleep, lift up your eyes to the divine light, and listen to the word. What does the word say? First, every day when you hear his voice, don't harm your heart, the inner disposition, and then listen to what the spirit has to tell the churches, and then comes what does this voice have to tell Timor and Dormini d'Ocebo. teach you the fear of the Lord and what might we have the light of life and then comes the first part I will teach you and that is the next paragraph and the Lord seeking his workmen among the multitudes to whom he does quarry says again and then he continues my way with Psalm 33 what man is he that desires life

[11:45]

I would fain see good days. Of course, the answer to that invitation is, I. That is really the meaning of my life. That is really the inner, deepest inner desire of my soul. And therefore, you cannot but say, I am here. And then, right away, God continues with the same Psalm 33, If thou wilt have true and everlasting life, keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips that they speak to guide, turn away from evil and do good, seek after peace and pursue it. That is therefore the sweet voice of the one who invites. And then write in the next sentence, and when you have done these things, my eyes will be upon you and my ears open unto your prayers.

[12:50]

Now that also is a quotation, as you know, from the same Psalm 33. Because after these words, which would be good, you know, just to remember that, maybe read it to you. When you have done these things, my eye will be upon you, my ears open unto your prayers, continuation of the same psalm. And before you call upon me, I shall say to you, Lo, here I am. Just again with the words of Psalm 33. Just again with the words of Psalm 33. Just again with the words of Psalm 33.

[13:52]

Just again with the words of Psalm 33. Just again with the words of Psalm 33. Just again with the words of Psalm 33. The whole psalm, and then it's then concluded with, here before you, I said, lo, here I am. What can be sweeter to us, dearest brethren, than this voice of our Lord inviting us? Behold, in his loving mercy, the Lord shows us the way of life. Again, here also, I think, of course, interpretations and guesses, but I think that just this word here, quid dulcius nobis ad voce, The Domini Invitatis Nusratis Carissimi, also this sentence again, dictated and written under the influence of the Psalm 33, which is the invitation answer.

[14:53]

Of course, again, I say no to all the Christians of the time. This is the invitation to come to the altar and to receive the bread of life. from Zouaris' dominus, you know, how sweet the Lord is. And that word again occurs in Psalm 33. Zouaris, Christos, you know, the allusion or the Greek form, you know, I wouldn't say it, but in some way an iteration, you know, to Christos, Christos, you know, Christos as the sweet one, dulcis, Zouaris one. So, through his fatherly love, he shows us the way of life. And this, then, leads up to the next one, the next paragraph.

[15:56]

Let us therefore gird our Lord to faith, performs the verse following the guy's walk in his town. And that is then the subject of the next chapter.
