Scripture for the Third Thursday in Advent
1 Corinthians 12:25-27
So that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it. Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.
Lord, as we are each part of Your body, give us equal concern for each other and break down divisions between us that we might serve You to Your honor and glory. In Jesus' name. Amen.

Scripture for the Third Monday in Advent
Matthew 20:28
The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve.
Lord God, we often let our lives become so busy with activities and work and pleasure that we fail to serve You and Your Kingdom. Christ himself came to serve, not to be served. Focus our hearts and minds on serving You—as individuals and as Your Body. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour, the Divine Servant. Amen.

The foolish ones said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.' 'No,' they replied, 'there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.' But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding...
