Gospel: Matthew 25:1-13
Jesus calls us to prepare and to anticipate his return, but not to forget that Christ is with us right now!
Anticipation. Preparation. These are words we in the church generally associate with the season of Advent as we ready ourselves for the birth of the Christ child. Yet here, tucked inside of the parable of the 10 bridesmaids Jesus is calling us: to prepare, to be ready, to open our minds, hearts and souls now to Christ’s inbreaking. We’ve got to prepare, because we never know when that moment will come, and we won’t want to be late.
