Today is Tuesday of Holy and Great Easter Week. The liturgy today revolves around the parable of the 10 ten virgins, which our Savior related as He was coming to His Passion.
This parable teaches the faithful that the accomplishment of the great work of chastity should not make us careless in other matters, especially in charity, where-with the lamp of virginity is made radiant. Furthermore, the parable teaches that we should not be remiss about the end of our life, but should be prepared for it at any moment,…lest He come suddenly and the doors of the heavenly bride-chamber be shut, and we also, like the foolish virgins, hear that terrifying sentence …” Amen, I say unto you, I know you not”.
