Reflection

How are you preparing to be ready for that moment that no one escapes, the moment when you come to the end of your life as you know it now?

80 South Market Street, San José, CA 95113-2321 408-283-8100 www.stjosephcathedral.org ,

“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.’” Matthew 25 1-13

S aint of the Week Saint Josaphat (c. 1580 – November 12, 1623 In 1964, newspaper photos of Pope Paul VI embrac-

ing Athenagoras I, the Orthodox patriarch of Constantino-ple, marked a significant step toward the healing of a divi-sion in Christendom that has spanned more than nine centu-ries. In 1595, the Orthodox bishop of Brest-Litovsk in pre-sent-day Belarus and five other bishops representing mil-lions of Ruthenians, sought reunion with Rome. John Kun-sevich– who took the name Josaphat in religious life–was to dedicate his life, and die for the same cause. Born in what is now Ukraine, he went to work in Wilno and was influenced by clergy adhering to the 1596 Union of Brest. He became a Basilian monk, then a priest, and soon was well known as a preacher and an ascetic. He became bishop of Vitebsk at a relatively young age and faced a difficult situation. He was successful in winning the greater part of the Orthodox in that area to union. But the next year a dissident hierar- chy was set up, and his opposite number spread the accusation that Josaphat had “gone Latin” and that all his people would have to do the same. He was not enthu-siastically supported by the Latin bishops of Poland. De-spite warnings, he went to Vitebsk, still a hotbed of trouble. Attempts were made to foment trouble and drive him from the diocese: A priest was sent to shout insults to him from his own courtyard. When Josaphat had him removed and shut up in his house, the opposition rang the town hall bell, and a mob assembled. The priest was released, but members of the mob broke into the bishop’s home. Josaphat was struck with a halberd, then shot, and his body thrown into the river. It was later recovered and is now buried in St. Pe-ter’s Basilica in Rome. He was the first saint of the Eastern Church to be canonized by Rome. Josaphat’s death brought about a movement toward Catholicism and unity, but the controversy continued, and the dissidents, too, had their martyr. After the partition of Poland, the Russians forced most Ruthenians to join the Russian Orthodox Church.

In this week’s Gospel, Jesus talks about what it means to be prepared to receive the Kingdom of Heaven. This week’s reading follows a se-ries of warnings and predictions by Jesus about the coming of the Son

of Man. Jesus wants his disciples to understand that the exact day and time cannot be predicted. He teaches the disciples that they must remain vigilant so that they will not be caught unprepared. When thinking about the parable of the wise and foolish virgins, it is important to consider the first-century wedding traditions of Palestine. Scholars tell us that it was the custom of the day for young maid-ens—friends and family members of the bride—to meet the bridegroom when he came to bring his bride to her new home. As with many of Jesus’ parables, several levels of interpretation are possi-ble. In last week’s Gospel, we heard Jesus warn against following the example of the Pharisees and scribes. If read in the context of early Christiani-ty’s struggle to define itself against Pharisaic Juda-ism, this parable is a continuing critique of Juda-ism. It suggests that the Jewish leaders were like the foolish virgins, unprepared to meet Jesus, the bridegroom of Israel. In the chapter preceding this parable, however, Jesus warns about the destruc-tion of Jerusalem, the tribulation of the end times, and the coming of the Son of Man. When read in this context, today’s parable is a warning to the Christian community to remain vigilant and pre-pared to receive Jesus, the Son of Man who will return at the end of time. This interpretation is sup-ported by the reference to the delay of the bride-groom. The Christian community for whom Mat-thew wrote this Gospel was coming to terms with the realization that the promise of Jesus’ return would not be fulfilled within their lifetimes. The question remains for us to ask ourselves, Are we ready to receive Jesus? Will we be prepared to re-ceive him? - Loyola Press
