Thirty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time, 18th November

Mark 13:24–27

Jesus said to Peter, James, John, and
Andrew, “But in those
days, after that suffering, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not
give its light, and the stars will be falling from heaven, and the
powers in the heavens will be shaken. Then they will see ‘the Son of Man coming
in clouds’ with great power and glory. Then he will send out the angels, and
gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of
heaven.”

 

Reflection

 

•      Do
I have any experience that even in my darkest hour the Lord did not abandon me?  

•      If I take his words to heart and stay
close to him as I journey, do I have anything to fear?
