TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION We are faced with strong and disturbing readings today that hold a certain fascina on, since they seem at first glance to be blueprints for future inevitable wars and hardship. A fundamentalist interpreta on focuses on this aspect. Yet we hear them at our Sunday celebra on of the Eucharist, which infuses them with hope and op mism. Rather than dreading the future, today’s liturgy assures us that God is with us in all of life’s inevitable trials, and that we have a role in shaping the outcome of human history. Occasionally, some Chris ans have a empted to decode these readings for an exact measure of the world’s end, but they have thus far been disappointed.
“Nothing lasts forever” is a lyric from a Broadway show. Stars fall from the sky, leaves wither and fall, moun-tains wash into the sea, human projects and governments to er and collapse with great regularity. Today’s liturgy opposes this idea as incomplete, reminding us that Christ has made a permanent change in human history, and that life in him is life forever. Rather than invi ng us to throw in the towel, today’s liturgy strengthens us for acts of goodness and grace in our families, communi es, and world. —James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

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 apostles themselves worked in “toil and drudgery” as a model for how we ought to contribute to our com-munity. The Gospel returns to the apocalyptic tone of Malachi, describing 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.
