READING 1 WIS 6:12-16
Resplendent and unfading is wisdom, and she is readily perceived by those who love her, and
found by those who seek her. She hastens to make herself known in anticipation of their desire;
Whoever watches for her at dawn shall not be disappointed, for He shall find her sitting by His
gate. For taking thought of wisdom is the perfection of prudence, and whoever for her sake
keeps vigil shall quickly be free from care; because she makes her own rounds, seeking those
worthy of her, and graciously appears to them in the ways, and meets them with all solicitude.
READING 2 1 THES 4:13-14
We do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, about those who have fallen asleep,
so that you may not grieve like the rest, who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and
rose, so too will God, through Jesus, bring with Him those who have fallen asleep.
GOSPEL MT 25:1-13
Jesus told His disciples this parable: "The kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took
their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish and five were wise.
The foolish ones, when taking their lamps, brought no oil with them, but the wise brought flasks
of oil with their lamps. Since the bridegroom was long delayed, they all became drowsy and fell
asleep. At midnight, there was a cry, ‘Behold, the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’ Then all
those virgins got up and trimmed their lamps. The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of
your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ But the wise ones replied, 'No, for there may not be
enough for us and you. Go instead to the merchants and buy some for yourselves.’ While they
went off to buy it, the bridegroom came and those who were ready went into the wedding feast
with him. Then the door was locked. Afterwards the other virgins came and said, ‘Lord, Lord,
open the door for us!’ But He said in reply, ‘Amen, I say to you, I do not know you.’ Therefore,
stay awake, for you know neither the day nor the hour."
