LIFE IS HARD,
BUT HAVE NO FEAR
Today’s readings take a fearless look at reality and reach a conclusion that we all know: life is hard. The prophet Malachi preaches fire and brimstone, warning us that evildoers will perish in flames. Saint Paul offers his own warning to the Thessalonians: keep busy, but never become a busybody. He reminds Christians that the apos-tles themselves worked in “toil and drudgery” as a model for how we ought to contribute to our community. The Gospel returns to the apocalyptic tone of Malachi, describ-ing the utter chaos of the end-times. We will know the end is near when violence, catastrophe, and hatred dominate the earth. But we must not fear! God’s saving plan brings peace to our hearts. Malachi speaks of the sun’s “healing rays,” and Jesus himself promises to protect every hair on our heads. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
LA VIDA ES DURA,
PERO NO TENEMOS MIEDO Las lecturas de hoy toman una mirada valiente a la realidad y llegan a la conclusión que todos sabemos, la vida es dura. El profeta Malaquías predica fuego y azufre, advirtiéndonos que los malhechores perecerán en llamas. San Pablo ofrece su propia advertencia a los tesalonicenses: manténgase ocupados, pero nunca en entrometidos. Él recuerda a los cristianos que los mismos apóstoles hicieron “trabajos pesados y penosos” como un modelo de cómo debemos contribuir a nuestra comunidad. El Evangelio regresa al tono apocalíptico de Malaquías, describiendo el caos total del final de los tiempos. Sabre-mos que el fin se acerca cuando la violencia, las catástrofes y el odio dominen la tierra. ¡Pero no debe-mos tener miedo! El plan de salvación de Dios nos da paz a nuestros corazones. Malaquías habla de los “rayos sana-dores” del sol, y el mismo Jesús promete proteger cada cabello de nuestras cabezas. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

According to tradition, the Blessed Vir-gin Mary was consecrated to God as a young child and was given by her holy parents, St. Anne and St. Joachim, to live in the Jewish temple in Jerusalem. This special feast day honoring this event appeared in the East much earlier than it did in the West. Then, in the late Middle Ages it was promoted as a feast day for the universal Church. © 2017 The Catholic Co.
