Lectionary: 154 Reading 1 Wisdom 6:12-16 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. Responsorial Psalm Psalm 63:2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8 R. (2b) My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my God. O God, you are my God whom I seek; for you my flesh pines and my soul thirsts like the earth, parched, lifeless and without water. R. My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my God. Thus have I gazed toward you in the sanctuary to see your power and your glory, For your kindness is a greater good than life; my lips shall glorify you. R. My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my God. Thus will I bless you while I live; lifting up my hands, I will call upon your name. As with the riches of a banquet shall my soul be satisfied, and with exultant lips my mouth shall praise you. R. My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my God. I will remember you upon my couch, and through the night-watches I will meditate on you: You are my help, and in the shadow of your wings I shout for joy. R. My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my God. Reading 2 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 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. or 1 Thessalonians 4:13-14 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. Alleluia Matthew 24:42a, 44 R. Alleluia, alleluia. Stay awake and be ready! For you do not know on what day your Lord will come. R. Alleluia, alleluia. Gospel Matthew 25:1-13 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."

How do you know who your real friends are? And what does the Bible teach us about loyalty, trust, and choosing the right people to surround ourselves with? In this episode of Faith Unscripted, JP and Andrew return to explore Sirach chapters 6–8, reflecting on the difference between genuine friendships and relationships that fall apart when life gets difficult. Through personal experiences, honest conversations, and Scripture, they discuss betrayal, wisdom, anxiety, the fear of death, and the importance of trusting God through life's challenges. Join us as we discover why a faithful friend is one of life's greatest treasures and how God's Word can guide our everyday decisions. #FaithUnscripted #ChristianFriendship #CatholicFaith #BibleStudy #BookOfSirach #TrueFriendship #ChristianPodcast #JesusChrist #BiblicalWisdom #TrustGod #FaithInGod #CatholicPodcast #SpiritualGrowth #ChristianLiving #GodsWord SEND US YOUR PRAYER INTENTIONS: Email: aveprayerline@gmail.com Text us: +1 (239) 321-9912 WhatsApp: https://wa.link/c6yh18 Prayer line: +1 (239) 842-3325 TO MAKE A DONATION: https://www.mariavision.us/donate WEBSITE: https://www.mariavision.us FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL: https://www.instagram.com/mariavisionusa https://www.facebook.com/mariavisionusa/ https://www.tiktok.com/@mariavision.usa May God Bless You Always!

What changes when we truly begin to live with eternity in mind? In this reflection, we are invited to fix our eyes on Jesus and remember that the Christian life is not limited to what we can see, accomplish, or experience in this world. Through Baptism and the gift of the Holy Spirit, we are called to live with faith in eternal life—not simply fearing death, but trusting the God who created us to live with Him forever. This reflection also challenges us to recognize the spiritual gifts God has already placed within us. We may feel small or insignificant, but God can work through ordinary people in extraordinary ways. Through prayer, the sacraments, Confession, love, and service, we become instruments of the living God—“vessels of clay” carrying His treasure. When our lives are directed toward Jesus and eternity, our faith can become a light for the people around us.

We often recognize the dangers of addictions to alcohol, drugs, gambling, and other harmful habits. But what if one of the most dangerous addictions is something we rarely recognize—the addiction to wealth? In this powerful Catholic homily, we reflect on Jesus' warning about the spiritual dangers of riches and how attachment to money can slowly blind us to the needs of others. Through the parable of the rich man and Lazarus, we discover how selfishness can close our hearts without us even realizing it. Jesus reminds us that this world is not our final home. We are called to prepare for eternal life by practicing generosity, caring for the poor, and loving those around us. True wealth is not measured by what we accumulate, but by the love we share. Are we investing only in our earthly future, or are we preparing our hearts for heaven? Join us for this reflection on wealth, addiction, generosity, and the path to eternal life.
