Today is the Memorial of Saint Lucy, Virgin and Martyr. The Gospel reading was the Parable of the Ten Virgins from from Matthew 25. Five were foolish and five wise. When the long-delayed bridegroom arrived at midnight, the wise ones trimmed their lamps filled with oil and were ready to meet him, while the foolish found their lamps going out due to insufficient oil and had to go off to buy some. Meanwhile the bridegroom came and those who were ready went into the wedding feast with him. The door was then shut. Afterwards the foolish ones returned and found themselves locked out. Therefore, we need to stay awake always. That means we need to be in a state of grace always.
