Here are some of the main themes that we discover in the Mass readings for the 32nd Sunday of the Year.
1st Reading – Wisdom 6:12-16
- Resplendent and unfading is wisdom for those who seek her in anticipation and vigil.
- Filled with the perfection of prudence, wisdom keeps us free from care.
Psalm – 63:2-8
- “My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my God.”
- We pine and thirst for God, whose kindness fills us with joy.
2nd Reading – 1st Thessalonians 4:13-18
- Our belief that Jesus died and rose offers us hope that all who have died in Christ will rise with him.
- The Lord, with a word of command, will reveal his majesty and power through the resurrection of Jesus.
Gospel – Matthew 25:1-13
- Jesus offers a parable about ten virgins – five wise and five foolish – who are waiting with oil lamps for the coming of the bridegroom.
- Those that are ready are welcomed to the feast; those who are unprepared will be shut out.
