INTROIT
Ps. 39:4-5, 7-8; antiphon: Is. 35:10
The ransomed of the LoRD shall return and come to Zion with | singing,*
everlasting joy shall be up- I on their heads.
They shall obtain glad- | ness and joy,* and sorrow and sighing shall I flee away.
O LoRD, make me know my end and what is the measure I of my days,* let me know how fleeting I I am!
Behold, you have made my days a few handbreadths, and my lifetime is as nothing be- I fore you. *
Surely all mankind stands as a I mere breath!
And now, O Lord, for what I do I wait?*
My hope | is in you.
Deliver me from all my trans- | gressions.*
Do not make me the scorn I of the fool!
Glory be to the Father and I to the Son and to the Holy I Spirit;
as it was in the be- I ginning,* is now, and will be forever. | Amen.
The ransomed of the LorD shall return and come to Zion with I singing,*
everlasting joy shall be up- I on their heads.
They shall obtain glad- I ness and joy,* and sorrow and sighing shall | flee away.

O Lord, absolve Your people from their offenses that, from the bonds of our sins which by reason of our frailty we have brought upon ourselves, we may be delivered by Your bountiful goodness; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.

- By Faith We Are Prepared for Christ's Return
- "The day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night" (1 Thess. 5:1-
- 11). The arrival of the bridegroom will be sudden and unexpected.
- Therefore you are to be watchful and ready like the five wise virgins.
- "For you know neither the day nor the hour" when the Son of Man is to return. (Matt. 25:1-13). The lamps are the Word of Christ. The oil in the lamps is the Holy Spirit, who works through the Word to create and sustain the flame of faith in Christ. The foolish are those who do not give proper attention to the working of the Holy Spirit in baptism, preaching, and the supper, and so their faith does not endure. The wise. however, are those who diligently attend to these gifts of the Spirit, and who therefore have an abundance of oil. The flame of faith endures to the end. By God's grace they are received into the eternal wedding feast of the Lamb in His kingdom, the new heavens and the new earth created by the Lord for the joy of His people (Is. 65:17-25).
