First Reading: Daniel 12:1-3

Daniel discusses the end of the world, a time when the dead shall rise and everyone will be judged. He warns that some shall “be an everlasting horror and disgrace.” But he promises that some will live forever, and the wise will shine brightly to lead others to justice.

Second Reading: Hebrews 10:11-14, 18

Priests repeatedly offered sacrifices that were unable to take away sin. But through Jesus’ one sacrifice, our sins were forgiven, leaving no need for other offerings.

Gospel: Mark 13:24-32

Jesus told his disciples that many signs would be seen before the end of the world. He explained that the earth would pass away but his words would not. He also told them that neither the angels nor himself, but only his Father knew when this would take place.

A FRESH PERSPECTIVE ON THE SUNDAY READINGS Thirty-Third Sunday in Ordinary Time

HIS WORD TODAY by Rev. William J. Reilly

“Every priest stands daily at his ministry offering frequently those same sacrifices that can never take away sins. But this one offered one sacrifice for sins and took his seat forever at the right hand of God, now he waits until his enemies are made his footstool. For by one offering he has made perfect forever those who are being consecrated. Where there is forgiveness of these, there is no

longer offering for sin.”

On the day of our baptism we were anointed with the holy chrism, and told that we share with Jesus in His ministry of priest, prophet and king. Christ, whose name means the Anointed One, received us as member of His Kingdom, the church. He is the prophetic voice, speaking for God and is God. He is the priest, whose continuing sacrifice we participate in at every mass.

We have been consecrated, set apart to do great works for the Lord. We are concluding the ‘Year of Consecrated Life’, honoring those religious, men and women, and consecrated virgins for their commitment and witness. With them, we live our consecration to build the Kingdom of Jesus Christ.

God asked St. Francis to rebuild His church. Francis’ namesake, our Holy Father was set out to do the same, and calls us to work with him to make it happen.
