Clergy Thoughts. Sunday is Remembrance Day when we remember and pray for all those who have died as a consequence of war and have made a great sacrifice to enable us to live and enjoy our freedom. We must also remember and pray for all who suffered as a result of war, conflict and terror. The First Reading eulogises wisdom – we see this wisdom in the five wise virgins in the Gospel parable. Whereas St Paul expects the second coming of Christ to happen soon.

Matthew has accepted that this may be delayed. The point of the parable is this: since the disciples (and we) do not know the day nor the hour, they must be prepared so that when he comes they can enter his kingdom. We must not allow the precious light of Christ to dim or even go out altogether. To be prepared means to be a doer rather than a listener of the word. Deacon Ken.
