ARCHDIOCESE ANNOUNCEMENTS
Prayer Chain Phone # 694-4771
Readings:: Malachi 3:19–20, Psalm 98:5–9 2 Thessalonians 3:7–12, Luke 21:5–19
It is the age between our Lord’s first coming and His last. We live in the new world begun by His life, death, Resur-rection, and Ascension, by the sending of His Spirit upon the Church. But we await the day when He will come again in glory.
“Lo, the day is coming,” Malachi warns in today’s First Reading. The prophets taught Israel to look for the Day of the Lord, when He would gather the nations for judgment (see Zephaniah 3:8; Isaiah 3:9; 2 Peter 3:7).
Jesus anticipates this day in today’s Gospel. He cautions us not to be deceived by those claiming “the time has come.” Such deception is the background also for today’s Epistle (see 2 Thessalonians 2:1–3). The signs Jesus gives His Apostles seem to already have come to pass in the New Testament. In Acts, the Epistles, and Revelation, we read of famines and earthquakes, the Temple’s desolation. We read of persecutions—believers imprisoned and put to death, testifying to their faith with wisdom in the Spirit. These “signs,” then, show us the pattern for the Church’s life—both in the New Testament and today.
We too live in a world of nations and kingdoms at war. And we should take the Apostles as our “models,” as to-day’s Epistle counsels. Like them we must persevere in the face of unbelieving relatives and friends, and forces and authorities hostile to God. As we do in today’s Psalm, we should sing His praises, joyfully proclaim His coming as Lord and King.
The Day of the Lord is always a day that has already come and a day still yet to come. It is the “today” of our Liturgy. The Apostles prayed marana tha—“O Lord come!” (see 1 Corinthians 16:22; Revelation 22:20). In the Eucharist He answers, coming again as the Lord of hosts and the Sun of Justice with its healing rays. It is a mighty sign—and a pledge of that Day to come.—Scott Hahn

EUCHARISTIC ADORATION—“Today more than ever have we need of men who, by their self-immolation, disarm the anger of God inflamed by the ever increasing crimes of nations. We must have souls who by their importunity re-open the treas-ures of grace which the indifference of the multitude has closed. We must have true adorers; that is to say, men of fervor and of sacrifice.” —St Peter Julian Eymard
Due to construction work in the chapel, we have moved the tabernacle forward, so you may come and adore Him at any time from the pews of the church. He is truly present, although we do not see Him. And our world needs your prayers. Adorers will be emailed and contacted when we re-open the chapel after the repairs are done.
For more information you may call or text 632-0272.
