Friday of week 21 in Ordinary Time
1 Corinthians 1:17-25
Psalm 32(33):1-2,4-5,10-11
Matthew 25:1-13
In today’s Gospel, Jesus shares the parable of the foolish bridesmaids unprepared when the bridegroom arrived unexpectedly. Those who are ready and have led virtuous lives will enter the kingdom of the Lord, while those who are not prepared may not have the opportunity to repent and follow the right path.
It’s easy to assume that we have plenty of time ahead of us, but for some, it could all end today. How are you getting ready for the coming of the Lord? “Don’t be caught without oil in your lamp in these last days.” May God guide us to walk in His ways, grow in wisdom and holiness, and live lives worthy of His love. Amen.
Wishing you all a great weekend. May God continue to bless you and meet you at the point of your need. Be happy and keep the good work going.
Fr Joseph Osho
