Homily
There were ten virgins: five foolish and five wise. All ten fell asleep when the bridegroom was late in coming. All ... the wise as well as the foolish. So we don't reproach the foolish for falling asleep, and we don't congratulate the wise for staying awake. They all fell asleep. The difference between the two groups is that the latter had taken oil with them, while the others had not.
