Sunday, November 12, 2023:
Jesus said: “My people, in today’s Gospel you read the Parable about the five wise virgins and the five foolish virgins.  The wise ones bought extra oil for their lamps, so when the bridegroom came, they were ready.  But the foolish ones had their lamps burn out, and they went to buy oil,  but on their return, they found the door locked.  The Bridegroom said he did not know them because they did not know the hour nor the day.  There are some people who know the right things to do, but they are lazy, especially when it comes to coming to Mass on Sunday.  The vision of grain overflowing in the barn, refers to the wise people who heard My word and stored three months of food for the coming famine.  The foolish people did not buy three months of food, and they could go hungry when the shelves are empty in your stores.  So be wise in earthly and heavenly ways, and you will receive your reward in heaven.”
