33rd SUNDAY in ORDINARY TIME 

Gospel: Luke 21:5-19 

Catastrophes, disasters, wars, insurrections, etc. are not signs of the end of the world,
but of how far we actually are from the end.
We hasten the end not by being fearful of these events,
but by being faithful to Jesus’ work of establishing God’s kingdom.
Preaching, teaching, and living in Jesus’ name is the one sure way of disciple-ship
that hastens Jesus’ Second Coming and secures for us eternal life.
