CHILDREN COLUMN
INTRODUCTION:
At that time when Jesus lived, there was no electricity. When darkness fell, people relied on clay lamps filled with oil to provide them with light. If you were unprepared, and do not carry extra oil, then once the oil ran out, you will be left in darkness and unable to see. In today’s gospel, Jesus is telling us the importance of being prepared.
PRAYER:
Loving Jesus, you are the friend of little children, I want to be close to you. Give me he grace never to be late for mass. Amen.
WHAT TO DO (ACTION):
To be ready always
