Gospel For Thirty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year A

– Matthew 25:1-13

Jesus told his disciples this parable:
¹ “The kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.

² Five of them were foolish and five were wise.

³ The foolish ones, when taking their lamps, brought no oil with them,

⁴ but the wise brought flasks of oil with their lamps.

⁵ Since the bridegroom was long delayed, they all became drowsy and fell asleep.

⁶ At midnight, there was a cry, ‘Behold, the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’

⁷ Then all those virgins got up and trimmed their lamps.

⁸ The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’

⁹ But the wise ones replied, ‘No, for there may not be enough for us and you. Go instead to the merchants and buy some for yourselves.’

¹⁰ While they went off to buy it, the bridegroom came and those who were ready went into the wedding feast with him. Then the door was locked.

¹¹ Afterwards the other virgins came and said, ‘Lord, Lord, open the door for us!’

¹² But he said in reply, ‘Amen, I say to you, I do not know you.’

¹³ Therefore, stay awake, for you know neither the day nor the hour.”
