OUT AND ABOUT
DEACON NEAL’S REFLECTION CORNER
The parable in today’s Gospel tells how five virgins were wise and five were foolish as they waited for the bride-groom.
To make a long story short, Jesus is telling us that we need to prepare ourselves and work to come to a deeper understanding of our faith so that we can come to know and love the bridegroom, Jesus Christ.
Don’t be foolish and procrastinate the possibility of falling in love with Jesus. He is waiting for you!
God bless,
Deacon Neal

Tom Santen, Lucia Signorelli and Steve Givens. For more information or to register go to ADVENT RETREAT
