Each one must do just as he has purposed in his heart,
not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves
a cheerful giver. (2 Corinthians 9:7)
St. Roch Parish Bulletin Page 2
Dear people of God,
As we are closer to the advent and end of the ordinary season, the church
encourages us her beloved children to be steadfast and ready without being
discouraged or distracted until the Lord comes. Indeed, “the waiting game” is not
an easy one but it requires lots of patience, humility and most importantly lots
of wisdom. If we must succeed in this waiting game for the Lord, we must learn that
patience is the greater courage while wisdom is the greatest of it all.
Today therefore, we must ask God to grant us wisdom to know what to
do at all times especially when we tend to run out of the spiritual oil (patience, courage, hope, faith and so on)
necessary for waiting for the Lord to act in our lives. This is most especially, when it does appear to us that
Jesus is delaying too much to come to our rescue.
Saint Matthew’s Gospel of this week gives an eye-opening message by the story of the wise and the foolish.
The wise come prepared and the foolish do not think ahead. We are invited to reflect on this story and gain
wisdom from it. At least part of the wisdom to be gained is that we can die at any moment and we should be ready
to meet the Lord right now if this is when He calls us. Probably it is not going to happen right now, but it could.
This Gospel is not trying to scare us, but simply reminding us that this life is not all that there is. There is another life, and it is for that life that we live this life. God wants us freely to choose Him and that is why He has
created us. Let us open the eyes of faith and live like the wise virgins in the gospel. My prayers. Be safe and healthy.
God bless you all.
