Contemplation (verse 2)
It says that even of these, who were virgins and carrying lamps, some are wise and some foolish. How is this distinction made? By what clue do we tell the difference? Only by whether the oil is present or missing.
+ Augustine of Hippo
Personal Reflection
Do we slack off when we think we have done enough? Do we just do the bare minimum and not push ourselves to always better our spiritual life?
Bible Knowledge Question
Who do the virgins represent? What does the lamp and oil represent?
Prayer
Dear Lord, teach us to never be satisfied that we have done enough good works. To always strive for more, to Glorify You, to be the salt of the earth, to serve your children and to fill our lamp with so much oil that it overflows, preparing ourselves for the end of times
