Gospel: Luke 21:29-33
Jesus told his disciples a parable. “Consider
the fig tree and all the other trees. When their buds burst open, you see for
yourselves and know that summer is now near; in the same way, when you see
these things happening, know that the Kingdom of God is near. Amen, I say to
you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have taken
place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.”

Reflection:
A man was asked, what is your greatest fear
in Life? The man replied, I fear death for I don’t know what would happen to me
when I die.
We all
have our own set of fears, we fear losing somebody we love, we fear losing our
job. And the worst fear perhaps is the same as with the man who was asked about
his greatest fear. However why fear when
Jesus is always there to soothe and take away our fears?
Many of us
have so many fears for the reason that we don’t have Jesus in our lives and we don’t
have a personal relationship with Him. This is basically the reason why we have so
many fears. But, why don’t we try to have discover more about Jesus through our
faithful presence at Holy Mass? Why don’t we try to discover more about
Jesus by reading about His life in the
bible?
Jesus in
our gospel tells us that heaven and earth will pass away but His words will not
pass away (Luke 21:33). Indeed, everything will pass away or we may pass away
first before everything pass away. Nevertheless whatever happens and whomever
passes away first we have nothing to fear for as long as we have Jesus in our
lives. - Marino J. Dasmarinas
