SUNDAY’S REFLECTION: Encouragement

This Sunday’s Gospel is our final selection from Mark for this liturgical year. It is taken from the end of Jesus’ teaching in Jerusalem immediately preceding the account of his arrest and passion. In it Jesus gives his disciples hope to sustain them through his passion and death and any persecution or suffering that they would encounter after his resurrection. The words from the book of Daniel also provided hope and encouragement to the people of Daniel’s time. The encouragement in these scriptures is meant for us as well, for none of us will escape tribulation in our lives. Followers of Jesus will be able to endure suf-fering with joyful hope, knowing that Christ’s love will lead us along the way of discipleship and give us eter-nal life with God.

REST IN GOD’S ETERNAL LOVE & PEACE:

Our Parish Community wishes to extend our sympathy to the family and friends of all the faithful departed especially, Cynthia Illano.
