Today's Word
Luke 21:32-33
“Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
Today's Reflection
Every generation faces a crisis that seemed like the end of the world.
The generation that faced WW II had thought that the end of the world was near.
Those who survived became more resilient and grew stronger to face the challenges ahead.
We have to learn from that generation and to know that we can only grow stronger when we persist and persevere.
In the 1st reading, the visions of the prophet Daniel began with terrifying and disturbing signs.
But those signs gave way to a glorious triumph of good over evil.
In the end, God triumphed over evil. Evil may cause much distress but it will be destroyed in the end.
Jesus promised that evil does not have the last say.
Heaven and earth may pass away, but His words will not pass away.
Let us believe that eventually God will triumph over evil.
Let us persist and persevere and we will only grow stronger with each crisis.
Be faithful, trusting and patient thus enduring your Christian life obeying always the Enduring Word of God.
GOD BLESS YOU
Good morning. Have a nice safe day
