“Jesus told his disciples this parable: \u201cThe 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, \u2018Behold, the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!\u2019 Then all those virgins got up and trimmed their lamps. The foolish ones said to the wise, \u2018Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.\u2019 But the wise ones replied, \u2018No, for there may not be enough for us and you. Go instead to the merchants and buy some for yourselves.\u2019 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, \u2018Lord, Lord, open the door for us!\u2019 But he said in reply, \u2018Amen, I say to you, I do not know you.\u2019 Therefore, stay awake, for you know neither the day nor the hour”.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Matthew 25:1-13<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n “Be vigilant at all times and pray, that you may have the strength to stand before the Son of Man.”<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Luke 21:36<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The Humble Servants are set up as a genuine act of kindness with one sole purpose “which is to kindly spread an ounce of light to others in our daily walk of life!
