Listen to Pr. Craig Mueller's sermon from November 11/12, 2017

"...Amid the drowsiness, the dreariness, and the dullness, we keep vigil. The attendants wait for the arrival of the bridegroom. Not unlike the Easter Vigil, in which we watch for Christ to come among us and break the bands of lethargy and death.

Yet as we heard in the first reading, our hope is not in human striving alone as that can leave us weary and worn. Wisdom is waiting to be found. She is the brightness found by those who love and seek her, those who are drawn to the beauty of the feast.

The evening is advancing. The reds and oranges fade. Christ the bridegroom comes among us this day, to awaken us and invite yet again to the feast of life. Go out to meet him, your lamps lit, sharing your oil with those who have none."
