In her sermon on Matthew 25:1–13, the Parable of the Ten Bridesmaids, our Rector The Rev. Catherine Cox explores what it means to be prepared for the coming of Christ. True readiness is not simply a matter of waiting or professing faith, but of living out our faith through prayer, compassion, mercy, and faithful discipleship. We are called to keep our lamps filled, serving others and reflecting the light of Christ as we wait with hope and expectation for the coming of God’s kingdom.
