READINGS FOR THE WEEK OF NOVEMBER 12, 2017
32nd Sunday in Ordinary Time
"But the wise brought flasks of oil with their lamps." The foolish
versus the wise. Today's parable sets these two groups in stark contrast to
one another. Two crowds of young women wait for a wedding feast. One
group comes prepared for the unexpected, the other just assumes
everything will go according to schedule. But it doesn't! The Bridegroom
is late, and the foolish virgins are left out in the dark--literally--while the
wise ones enjoy the feast inside.
The lesson here is not just about having foresight and gathering the
corresponding equipment. It's about being ready for the second coming of
Christ. Jesus himself is the "Bridegroom." Traditionally we refer to the
Church as the "Bride of Christ" and we, as the people of God who
constitute the Church, are even now awaiting the real feast, the
culmination of time when Jesus returns. But are we standing among the
wise or the foolish as we wait?
Jesus tells us today, "Stay awake, for you know neither the day nor the
hour." Are we spiritually awake? Do we have extra oil to see us through,
or are we hitting the bottom of the barrel and running on spiritual fumes so
to speak? Do we think it's enough to do the bare minimum as we wait for
Christ--stepping into church without really being present, or calling
ourselves Christian without really taking up the challenge of the cross? In
order to avoid standing outside the feast with the foolish, we will want to
make sure we fill our flasks with oil or, in other words, fill our hearts with
the love of God, fill our minds with his word and his teachings, and fill our
souls with the virtues that unite us to his will. If we stock up on these
important supplies, we can count ourselves among the wise!
Our cemeteries at Mount Carmel, St. Anthony’s
and St. Patrick’s are scheduled to close on
Nov. 15, 2017. We will continue burials as long as
the weather co-operates until the first snowfall
occurs. If you have anything on your loved one’s
grave that you want to keep, please remove it by
the first week of November. All other items will be
put in the dumpster for the fall clean up.
2018 St. Joseph Sunday Missals are available for $4.00 in the Holy Spirit
Office.
