Message from the Padre
Our Gospel story this weekend is a strange story of a wedding with ten brides-
maids and a groom who is late. Yes… this might be a strange wedding but there is more
behind in this story. The bridegroom wants us to “Stay awake! for we do not know on
which day your Lord will come.” This kind of instruction does not always sit well with
most of us. No one wants to stay awake and wait. Everyone is always in a hurry and for
most of us, patience is not our greatest virtue. We always complain about waiting…but
how about waiting for God? Do we have the patience to stay awake for God? When we
pray, do we have the time to wait for God’s reply or do we do our own thing without
waiting for God’s answer?
My dear friends, our Gospel’s message this weekend offers us some wisdom on how to slow down
and rediscover what we are preparing for. Christ is telling us that as we wait for God’s kingdom...we should not only live
in harmony with one another but also prepare ourselves in the way of the Lord.
As Christians, our act of waiting for God is a never-ending journey. Each day ends with another day of antici-
pation that tomorrow may be our last day. But we have to remember that waiting for Christ does not mean that we wait in
our sleep. Our waiting means getting ready, being prepared and doing something good because it is not every day that we
are given the chance to do all that we are expected to do. Yes, every minute here on earth counts, that is why it is impor-
tant to ask the question “what would Jesus do... and what would he want me to do if this is my last day?
My dear brothers and sisters, we all have heard the words Stop! Look! and Listen! Today Jesus adds more to
these words… he says… Stay Awake! Wait! and be Prepared! for we do not know on which day your Lord will come.

Thirty-Second Sunday
In Ordinary Time Wisdom 6: 12-16
1 Thessalonians 4: 13-18
Matthew 25: 1-13
In the holy scriptures that we hear proclaimed today, wis-
dom is presented as a central value. We hear an ode to
wisdom in the first reading, and the parable of the wise
and foolish virgins in the Gospel. The wisdom that we
need will enable us to be ready for the coming of the
Lord. Listening to these readings, what do you think you
need to do to prepare for the Lord’s coming today?

OUR LADY QUEEN OF PEACE SERVICE OF REMEMBRANCE
A Prayer for our
Veterans
Father, we could never thank our military men and women
enough for their courageous service and sacrifice to our
country and its people. Yet on Veteran’s Day we lift up our
voices to express gratefulness and honor to these military
troops both from the past and present. Show us ways in our
communities, churches, and families to thank and love them
better. Keep and protect these heroes and their families, in
the powerful name of Jesus. Amen.
