Scripture of the Day!

Now John's disciples and the Pharisees were fasting.  Some people came and asked Jesus, "How is it that John's disciples and the Pharisees are fasting, but yours are not?"  Jesus answered, "How can the guests of the bridegroom fast while he is with them?  They cannot, so long as they have him with them.  But the time will come when the bridegroom wil be taken from them, and on that day they will fast.  "No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment.  If he does, the new piece will pull away from the old, making the tear worse.  And no one pours new wine into old wineskins.  If he does, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the wineskins will be ruined.  No, he pours new wine into new wineskins."

"At that time 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 took their lamps but did not take any oil with them.  The wise however, took oil in jars along  with their lamps.  The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep.  "At midnight the cry rang out: 'Here's the bridegroom!'  Come out and meet him!  "Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps.  The foolish ones said to the wise, 'give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.'  "No,' they replied, 'there may not be enough for both us and you.  Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.'  But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived.  The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet.  And the door was shut.  "Later the others also came. 'Sir!  Sir!'  they said.  Open the door for us!'  "But he replied, 'I tell you the truth, I don't know you.'  "Therefore, keep watch because you do not know the day or the hour.
