The Gospel for the day

Matthew 25:1-13
At that time, Jesus told his disciples this parable: “The kingdom of heaven will be like this: ten virgins went out to meet the bridegroom. Each carried a lamp. Five of them were foolish, and five were wise. The foolish ones took their lamps but brought no extra oil, while the wise took oil in jars along with their lamps. The bridegroom was delayed, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep.
At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here comes the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’ Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. The foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’ The wise replied, ‘No, there may not be enough for both us and you. Go instead to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.’
While they were away buying oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet, and the door was shut. Later, the other virgins came and said, ‘Lord, Lord, open the door for us!’ But he replied, ‘Truly I tell you, I do not know you.’
Therefore, keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.”
The Gospel of the Lord
“Wisdom shines through preparation. At AXA, we help you keep your lamp burning—ready for every opportunity, protected from every uncertainty.”
