St. Augustine – 

As we prepare to meet the ‘Bridegroom’ are we getting our lives in order, practicing the virtues, growing as Christians? We are not to be like the foolish bridesmaids, hoping to borrow what we do not have. Our response in faith to Christ has to be personal. Just as we cannot blame other people for our lack of faith, we cannot pass the responsibility for it over to someone else. It is our responsibility alone.
