November 6, 2011:
Wisdom 6: 12-16
Psalm 63: 2-8
1 Thessalonians 4: 13-18
Matthew 25: 1-13
As we head quickly toward the end of this liturgical year, the Gospel readings urge us to live our lives always prepared to greet our God. I think many of hear the phrase 'prepare to meet God' and feel afraid, as if our Creator is a cranky principal who is about to hand down to us the stiffest detention ever suffered! But the Gospel says 'those who were ready went into the wedding feast with him' (the bridegroom, Jesus).... sounds good to me. Here's the question for us all: what does it mean to 'be ready'... in your life, when and how does your lamp shine brightly, and where does it feel as if you're running dry?
The topic for the Catechumenate this Sunday is prayer.
The Mystagogia group will meet this Sunday at 10:45am in the small chapel, to review the Sacrament of Reconciliation, in anticipation of our parish communal penance service for Advent.
Inquiry will meet on Tuesday evening November 8 at 7:00pm.
