Stay awake and be ready!
For you do not know on what day your Lord will come. Matthew 24:42, 44
Wisdom 6:12-16, Psalm 63:2-8, 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, Matthew 25:1-13
Wisdom 6:12-16
Dear Love, Beloved of my soul,
The Holy Spirit has been poured into the hearts of all who believe. To us has been given the power of God and the Wisdom of God. If we do not perceive her then it is because we are not aware of the riches of God's grace that is given to us at our baptism and in the Sacraments we receive subsequently. God's gift of Wisdom shines brightly and nothing can tarnish her beauty for she it the Truth of God and she manifests the Beauty of God.
She is God's gift to us and can be found if we are prepared to seek her and when we do we will find her already waiting for us ready to teach us all and reveal all to help us grow strong in faith, hope, and love. Those who receive her have received a gift whose value is beyond anything they could ever imagine or conceive. To be wise in the ways of Wisdom is to be free from the cares and anxieties of live for the children of Wisdom put all their trust in God knowing perfectly well that God never disappoints. Thank You Beloved for this wonderful gift that is given to us freely and without measure. To have Wisdom is to have Your Spirit as a Friend.
Psalm 63:2-8
My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my God.
O God, you are my God whom I seek;
for you my flesh pines and my soul thirsts
like the earth, parched, lifeless and without water.
Thus have I gazed toward you in the sanctuary
to see your power and your glory,
For your kindness is a greater good than life;
my lips shall glorify you.
Thus will I bless you while I live;
lifting up my hands, I will call upon your name.
As with the riches of a banquet shall my soul be satisfied,
and with exultant lips my mouth shall praise you.
I will remember you upon my couch,
and through the night-watches I will meditate on you:
You are my help,
and in the shadow of your wings I shout for joy.
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
We do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters,
about those who have fallen asleep,
so that you may not grieve like the rest, who have no hope.
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose,
so too will God, through Jesus,
bring with him those who have fallen asleep.
Indeed, we tell you this, on the word of the Lord,
that we who are alive,
who are left until the coming of the Lord,
will surely not precede those who have fallen asleep.
For the Lord himself, with a word of command,
with the voice of an archangel and with the trumpet of God,
will come down from heaven,
and the dead in Christ will rise first.
Then we who are alive, who are left,
will be caught up together with them in the clouds
to meet the Lord in the air.
Thus we shall always be with the Lord.
Therefore, console one another with these words.
Matthew 25:1-13
Jesus told his disciples this parable:
"The kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins
who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.
Five of them were foolish and five were wise.
The foolish ones, when taking their lamps,
brought no oil with them,
but the wise brought flasks of oil with their lamps.
Since the bridegroom was long delayed,
they all became drowsy and fell asleep.
At midnight, there was a cry,
'Behold, the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!'
Then all those virgins got up and trimmed their lamps.
The foolish ones said to the wise,
'Give us some of your oil,
for our lamps are going out.'
But the wise ones replied,
'No, for there may not be enough for us and you.
Go instead to the merchants and buy some for yourselves.'
While they went off to buy it,
the bridegroom came
and those who were ready went into the wedding feast with him.
Then the door was locked.
Afterwards the other virgins came and said,
'Lord, Lord, open the door for us!'
But he said in reply,
'Amen, I say to you, I do not know you.'
Therefore, stay awake,
for you know neither the day nor the hour."
Stay awake and be ready!
For you do not know on what day your Lord will come. Matthew 24:42, 44
