Friday of Week 34 in Ordinary Time (Year II)
Saint Catherine of Alexandria, Virgin, Martyr
Apocalypse 20:1-4,11-21:2 | Psalm 83(84):3-6,8 | Luke 21:29-33
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away. (Luke 21:33)
We’re almost at the end of Ordinary Time, and today’s reading and Gospel naturally focus on the end times. Jesus reminds us that our very existence is limited, but His Word has always been and will forever be.
So it’s up to us to make the all-important choice: listen to His Word and act on it, or ignore it and pay the price on Judgement Day.
And the time we have left to make that choice…may be shorter than we think.
