SEEING YOUR LIFE THROUGH THE LENS OF THE GOSPELS Matthew 25:1-13 While the parable has clear end-of-time applications it can also be applied to any moment of grace. It reminds us that moments of grace come unexpectedly, and we need to be awake to receive them. Recall times when you were alert for such a moment. What were the consequences for you? Grace can also be disturbing. We can be coasting along in life and suddenly an opportunity or a graced moment arrives and we are shaken out of our routine in order to respond. Perhaps you can recall both moments when you were unprepared, and moments when you were able to respond. What lessons have you learned from such experiences? We may be tempted to judge the wise virgins as being selfish for not sharing with the others, but perhaps Jesus is teaching us that there are some things that other people cannot provide for us. We have to acquire them ourselves. What qualities in life do you see as the essential oil that you must provide for yourself?

He then looked down upon the earth, And saw your tired face, He put His arm around you and Lifted you to rest. God’s garden must be beautiful, He always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering, He knew you were in pain, He knew that you would never Get well on earth again. He saw the road was getting rough, And the hills were hard to climb, So he closed your weary eyelids, And whispered “Peace is thine.”
It broke our hearts to lose you But you didn’t go alone, For part of us went with you, The day God called you home. PARISH COLLECTIONS Envelopes €3,612 Thank you for your continued support.
