FULL LAMPS + SPARE: 32nd Sunday OT A
Manage episode 432214757 series 2929998
All three readings today teach us a great deal about the gift of wisdom and find some unity around the theme of the right attitude to adopt towards the future.
The first reading which speaks of Wisdom as a personification of God, describes how the spirit of Wisdom is eager to enter into our lives. She is always close by, sitting at our gates, waiting for us to greet her, so that she may richly bless our lives.! What better response could we make to the promise of Wisdom than that in the responsorial psalm "My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my God."
St Paul in the 2nd reading tells the Thessalonians to prepare themselves for the Kingdom and that only the alert and the vigilant, those with wisdom can experience God coming in their lives.
In St. Matthew’s Gospel, Jesus gives us a classic example of wisdom – and the lack of it. He uses a cautionary yet humorous parable to stress the importance of remaining prepared and hopeful for the coming of the Lord into our lives (Gospel).
Dear friends, we are all invited to the banquet of the Lord, and yet we can become complacent about the abundant richness that our faith can bring. So, let us pray this week, for true wisdom and a spirit of hopeful, joyful longing for the Lord, so that we may be fully ready to greet him when he comes into our life. And may His Divine Wisdom light our way to the Eternal Wedding Celebration to which we are all called.
