Weekly Reflection

Ready for Christ

11-08-2026 | Fr. Jess Ty

Dear Family of God,

What does lighted lamp symbolize in our Gospel this weekend? Who is the Bridegroom? And who are the ten Virgins?

All members of the Church are symbolized by the ten virgins in our Gospel. Half are foolish because they did not bring extra oil for their lamps; the other half are wise enough to carry flasks of extra oil. The bridegroom arrives when the foolish virgins are out, and the door is locked.
