As the church year comes to a close, our Holy mother Church reminds us as its her custom about the things of the end times - things about the final days of the world, things about the our own death and things about the Final Judgment.

This 33rd Sunday of OT C is no different. The 1st and Gospel readings inform us about what will happen before and at the end of time. When some people look at the wars, conflict. grief, violence and aggression, chaos and confusion in our world today, they are tempted to conclude that the end of the world is near.

Our Blessed Lord has some reassuring words for those who have these catastrophic thoughts. He says, "do not be terrified". Instead He wants us to use them as opportunities to bear witness to Him - to stand up for our faith, to recycle these thoughts in prayer to fix our gaze on him and Him alone because He is the Way the truth and the Life.

Friends in Christ, Our Blessed Lord is speaking directly to your heart and to my heart, offering us all consolation and encouraging us to continue to bear witness to Him in the difficult times we find ourselves in this world, in the trying moments of our personal lives to the best of our abilities. And if we do this, He assures us again in his own words that "no hair on your head will perish... By your endurance you will gain your lives"

Oh that today you would listen to His voice, Harden not your hearts.
