‘Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.’
Matthew 25:13
A Word of Encouragement
As the year draws to a close, many
of us may be feeling tired after a long journey of work, responsibilities and challenges. Let us not lose heart. God knows our efforts, understands our struggles and continues to walk
with us.
We do not have to accomplish everything; sometimes, we simply
need to take one day at a time and trust in God's grace.
As St. Paul reminds us: "Let us not grow tired of doing good” (Galatians 6:9)
May the Lord renew our strength and keep our hearts filled with hope.
In this Sunday's Gospel, Jesus tells the parable of the ten virgins, reminding us that faith requires preparation, perseverance and attentiveness. We cannot wait until the last moment to nurture our relationship with God. We are called to keep the light of faith alive through prayer, love and service.
The Society of St. Vincent de Paul reminds us that our faith must also be expressed through practical acts of kindness and generosity.
We are grateful to its members and
benefactors who, through their generosity and service, bring hope
and dignity to those in need.
May we never allow all the oil in our lamps to run dry but continue to share the light of Christ with others.
