(Vatican Radio) Monsignor Philip Whitmore presents a musical meditation focusing
on the first Sunday in Advent: "At the start of Advent we hear again and again the
call to wake up, to get ready , to prepare ourselves for the day that is dawning.
'Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme'. Awake a voice is calling. That's the title of an
old German hymn for Advent...Listen to it as part of your Advent devotion. At the
heart of it is the dialogue between Christ and the soul. When the heavenly bridegroom
comes, he invites the soul to join him at the wedding feast..."... A programme
produced by Veronica Scarisbrick.
