THIRTY THIRD SUNDAY (YEAR B)

CELEBRATING FATHER DAVID’S BIRTHDAY

The first reading today is from the Book of Daniel tells us: “Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake; some shall live forever, others shall be an everlasting horror and disgrace.” This is the kind of statement that makes us have a bit of fear. We hope that we shall be along those who shall live forever. If we look at Scripture as a whole, this possibility of hell, of being rejected, is always there. On the other hand, it is never the great focus of the Scripture. The focus of Scripture is God’s everlasting love for us; God’s desire that all be saved; God’s walking with us to lead us in the path of salvation. While we should always be aware of our capacity to reject God and to reject the ways of God, we should be more aware of God’s love for us and should try to respond to that love. God invites us to know His love, His saving power, His delight in us.

The second reading is from the Letter to the

Hebrews. The point of this selection today is to

remind us that any human high priest cannot make a

complete amendment for our sins. Neither you nor I

can atone completely for our sins. It takes Jesus, who

is God and man, to make the one sacrifice for sins

that never needs to be repeated. Sin is vanquished in

Christ Jesus.

On the other hand, sin is us is only overcome when

we become one with Jesus Christ. God truly loves us

and sends His Own Son to take away sin so that we

can live forever with God. The Gospel from Mark is also about the final coming of the Lord and is clear that no one knows the day or the hour. How often we hear predictions based on Scripture about when the end of the world will hap-pen. We should always listen politely and in our hearts listen to the words of the Lord: “But of that day or hour, no one knows, neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.”
