The Rule of Saint Benedict - Prologue

(8) Let us get up then, at long last for the Scriptures rouse us when they say, "It is high time for us to arise from sleep," (Rom 13:11).
(9) Let us open our eyes to the light that comes form God, and our ears to the voice from heaven that every day calls out this charge,
(10)"If you hear His voice today, do not harden your hearts," (Ps 94 [95]:8).
(11) And again, "You that have ears to hear, listen to what the Spirit says to the churches," (Rev 2:7).
(12) And what does he say? "Come and listen to me, sons; I will teach you the fear of the Lord," (Ps 33[34]:12).
(13) "Run while you have the light of life, that the darkness of death may not overtake you." (John 12:35).
