The voice of the wise virgins

The wise virgins said to the fools something that has always been a wise word to people: go to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. They sell without price and without cost, though what they sell is very expensive: the favor of God won by  the blood of Christ; and they give him to the people freely. He is the Bridegroom, and his people are not only the wise virgins, but the Bride herself. Sermon for Trinity XVII.
