In this episode of Catechesis, Father Des Farren continues through Luke 21, reflecting on the widow’s offering, the humility of her gift, and the call to give to God with sincerity rather than surplus. He then explores Jesus’ prophecy of the destruction of the Temple, the trials that would face the early Church, and the endurance required of disciples. Drawing on the Catechism, Father Des explains the fall of Jerusalem, Christian persecution, the hope of the Second Coming, and the need to remain steadfast in prayer and charity. He also reflects on the relevance of these teachings today—how Christians witness to truth amid cultural pressure, uncertainty, and misplaced trust in technology. An encouraging guide to living faithfully as we await Christ with hope.
