This Week in the Bulletin:
Our Hope
Hope is a powerful motivating force for life, and both the First Reading and the Gospel offer hope. In Daniel's day, the people were being persecuted and put to death for their beliefs. In Mark's time, those who chose Jesus were also being driven from the temple, persecuted and killed. Both readings offer hope to the people - and to all who presently choose to follow God. Persecution of Christians continues, and we know that life can be tough: illness, violence, loneliness, etc. Wherein lives hope for us? Well, from Daniel, 'your own people (those whose names are recorded in the Book) will be spared', and from Mark, 'my words will not pass away', and that he, the Son of Man 'will send his angels to gather his chosen'.
And even though there are frequent prophecies about the ending of all we know, Jesus says that 'nobody knows it, neither the angels of heaven, nor the Son; only the Father'. Hope reminds us that by being attentive to the signs of the times, we will recognise that 'he is near' in the changing seasons, in the presence of those we love and in the wonder of all of creation.
