Dear Friend in the Lord,
“Earthly and Eternal Life” – Faith: In today’s Gospel, Jesus proclaimed that all earthly things, will “not last forever.” Only our relationship with God will last forever. Ponder on, “Do we have clear purposes and priorities; where God is at the centre and the foundation of our lives? If yes, then we will be living a fulfilling and happy life, now and forever.”
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
Luke 21:5-9
When some were talking about the Temple, remarking how it was adorned with fine stonework and votive offerings, Jesus said, ‘All these things you are staring at now-the time will come when not a single stone will be left on another; everything will be destroyed.’
And they put to him this question, ‘Master,’ they said, ‘when will this happen, then, and what sign will there be that this is about to take place?’ ‘Take care not to be deceived,’ he said ‘because many will come using my name and saying, “I am he” and “The time is near at hand.” Refuse to join them. And when you hear of wars and revolutions, do not be frightened, for this is something that must happen but the end is not so soon.’
