L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
Naf persuna li ma kienet togħġobha xejn din il-parabbola, u kif Ġesù jqabbel din l-istorja ta’ ħames xebbiet għaqlin u ħamsa boloh mas-Saltna tas-Smewwiet. Speċjalment dik il-parti tal-parabbola meta dawn il-ħamsa jitolbu lill-oħrajn, jgħidulhom: “Agħtuna ftit żejt minn tagħkom, għax l-imsiebaħ tagħna jintfew” (Mt 25:8). U l-oħrajn jirrifjutaw.

In those days: Jesus told his disciples this parable: “The kingdom of heaven will be like this. Ten bridesmaids took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish, and five were wise. When the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them; but the wise took flasks of oil with their lamps.
