Today’s Catholic Reflection
Wisdom shines brightly and lasts forever. Those who value and seek her will easily recognize her presence. She reveals herself quickly to those who long for her. With wisdom comes peace and clarity for those who stay watchful. Those who seek her will find her waiting, ready to guide and ease their concerns.
In the Gospel, Jesus tells a story about ten virgins getting ready for a wedding. Five of them are wise and bring extra oil for their lamps. The other five are foolish and do not prepare. When the bridegroom arrives unexpectedly, only the wise ones can join the feast. The foolish ones are left outside when the door is shut. This story being ready and alert, as we do not know when the Lord will return.
