Mt 25:1-13

Constant watchfulness is again the lesson of a parable. According to Jewish custom, the groom goes to the bride’s house before the wedding to meet with the father-in-law. The bridesmaids are to make all necessary preparations to greet the groom. The groom unexpectedly arrives in the night. Some of the bridesmaids are prepared while others are not.

May our attention to constant conversation with you, speaking and listening from our hearts be first and foremost in our day to day lives.
