PARISH SAFETY

As part of the onͲgoing safety and security plan for our parish, AED’s have been installed in the Rumford and Bethel worship sites. These AED’s were provided through the generosity of the Daughters of Isabella, dona#ons made in memory of Bill Gates, and an anonymous donor. Some of our Porter team, who are heading up the safety and security ini#a#ves within the parish, have already been trained to use the AEDs in the event of an emergency. If you are interested in joining the Porter ministry, please contact the Parish oﬃce or speak to one of the Porters a)er Mass.

32ND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

READING 1 WIS 6:12Ͳ16

A reading from the Book of Wisdom

Resplendent and unfading is wisdom, and she is readily perceived by those who love her, and found by those who seek her. She hastens to make herself known in anticipation of their desire; Whoever watches for her at dawn shall not be disappointed, for he shall find her sitting by his gate. For taking thought of wisdom is the perfection of prudence, and whoever for her sake keeps vigil shall quickly be free from care;

because she makes her own rounds, seeking those worthy of her, and graciously appears to them in the ways, and meets them with all solicitude.

The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

RESPONSORIAL PSALM PS 63:2, 3Ͳ4, 5Ͳ6, 7Ͳ8

READING 2 1 THES 4:13Ͳ18

A reading from the first Letter of St. Paul to the Thessalonians

We do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, about those who have fallen asleep, so that you may not grieve like the rest, who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose, so too will God, through Jesus, bring with him those who have fallen asleep. Indeed, we tell you this, on the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will surely not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself, with a word of command, with the voice of an archangel and with the trumpet of God, will come down from heaven, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore, console one another with these words.

The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

R.ALLELUIA, ALLELUIA.

Stay awake and be ready!

For you do not know on what day your Lord will come. R.ALLELUIA, ALLELUIA.

GOSPEL MT 25:1Ͳ13

A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew Glory to you, O Lord.

Jesus told his disciples this parable: "The kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish and five were wise. The foolish ones, when taking their lamps, brought no oil with them, but the wise brought flasks of oil with their lamps. Since the bridegroom was long delayed, they all became drowsy and fell asleep. At midnight, there was a cry, ‘Behold, the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’ Then all those virgins got up and trimmed their lamps. The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ But the wise ones replied, 'No, for there may not be enough for us and you. Go instead to the merchants and buy some for yourselves.’ While they went off to buy it, the bridegroom came and those who were ready went into the wedding feast with him. Then the door was locked. Afterwards the other virgins came and said,

‘Lord, Lord, open the door for us!’ But he said in reply,

‘Amen, I say to you, I do not know you.’ Therefore, stay awake, for you know neither the day nor the hour."

The Gospel of the Lord.

Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
