The Oil Within: What Will Sustain You at Midnight? - Wednesday Eve

In the parable of the ten virgins, only those who carried oil within their lamps were ready when the bridegroom came at midnight. In this powerful and thought-provoking message, Fr. Daniel explores what that “oil” represents in the life of a believer—and why it cannot be borrowed, rushed, or faked when the moment of testing arrives. This sermon challenges us to consider what truly sustains our faith when life grows dark, uncertain, or painful. Is it emotion, routine, and convenience—or a deep, personal relationship with God built through prayer, obedience, and the presence of the Holy Spirit? Fr. Daniel emphasizes that what is developed in private will determine how we stand in critical moments.
