And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
Read Chapter 12
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
In the first watch is childhood, the beginning of our existence, and by the second is understood manhood, and by the third is meant old age. He, therefore, who does not comply with our divine Master's injunctions in the first or second watch, let him be careful not to lose his soul by neglecting to be converted to God in his old age. (St. Gregory in St. Thomas Aquinas)
