Father John writes:
Every year in Church we travel from (Advent) the preparation for the coming of Jesus Christ to His birth (Christmas) and, as Jesus grows up, onward to His 3 years of preaching the Gospel, through Lent to His Crucifixion followed by His Resurrection from the dead and his ascension into heaven.
Subsequently we have the coming of the Holy Spirit (Pentecost) and then we see the workings of the Holy Spirit in the early Church and the spread of the Gospel.
Finally two weeks from now we will start the whole story again –the first Sunday of Advent on December the 1st !
Not surprisingly, the Scripture readings on this Sunday are a bit grim, focusing on “the end of time”. Will we all be destroyed? “Not a stone will be left upon a stone”.
But Jesus gives us these encouraging words “Your endurance will win you your lives”
