Today's Gospel reading is the Parable of the Ten Virgins from Matthew 25. The five foolish virgins were not ready and missed the bridegroom's arrival. When they showed up to attend the wedding feast, the door was already locked. They called out, "Lord, Lord, open the door for us!" He replied, "Amen, I say to you, I do not know you." This is something you never want to hear the Lord say to you; it's worse than "Woe to you!" The lesson is clear: We must stay awake, for we know neither the day nor the hour of his coming.
