November 17, 2019 3rd Sunday in Ordinary Time S F A A Today’s Gospel: Luke 21:5-19 When some were speaking about the temple, how it was adorned with beauful stones and gis dedicated to God, Jesus said, “As for these things that you see, the days will come when not one stone will be le upon another; all will be thrown down.” They asked him, “Teacher, when will this be, and what will be the sign that this is about to take place?” And Jesus said, “Beware that you are not led astray; for many will come in my name and say, ‘I am he!’ and, ‘The me is near!’ Do not go aer them. “When you hear of wars and insurrecons, do not be terrified; for these things must take place first, but the end will not follow immediately.” Then Jesus said to them, “Naon will rise against naon, and kingdom against kingdom; there will be great earthquakes, and in various places famines and plagues; and there will be dreadful portents and great signs from heaven. “But before all this occurs, they will arrest you and persecute you; they will hand you over to synagogues and prisons, and you will be brought before kings and governors because of my name. This will give you an opportunity to tesfy. So make up your minds not to prepare your defense in advance; for I will give you words and a wisdom that none of your opponents will be able to withstand or contradict. You will be betrayed even by parents and brothers, by relaves and friends; and they will put some of you to death. You will be hated by all because of my name. But not a hair of your head will perish. By your endurance you will gain your souls. “Do not be terrified.” Even a superficial study of history will reveal that every generaon has experienced their own version of humankind’s brutality. Jesus knew what we would face throughout history yet he admonished, “Do not be terrified.” How can we remain calm and at peace in the midst of such horrendous events? Peace comes from the assurance that God is in control of history, working his will even in the face of man’s inhumanity to man. He has our eternal welfare within his control; we need not fear death or eternity. In this passage Jesus warns, “some of you they will put to death … but not a hair of your head will perish.” This seemingly contradictory statement can comfort us and give us peace only if we believe in the resurrecon, and Jesus’ power to preserve us for eternity even in death. If we see this temporal life as all-important, we will be terrified of losing it, if we see it as a stepping stone to eternity where life becomes full and complete, we will not live in fear.

Today’s Gospel: Luke 21:5-19 When some were speaking
about the temple, how it was adorned with beau�ful stones
and gi�s dedicated to God, Jesus said, “As for these things
that you see, the days will come when not one stone will be
le� upon another; all will be thrown down.” They asked him,
“Teacher, when will this be, and what will be the sign that
this is about to take place?” And Jesus said, “Beware that
you are not led astray; for many will come in my name and
say, ‘I am he!’ and, ‘The �me is near!’ Do not go a�er them.
“When you hear of wars and insurrec�ons, do not be
terrified; for these things must take place first, but the end
will not follow immediately.” Then Jesus said to them,
“Na�on will rise against na�on, and kingdom against
kingdom; there will be great earthquakes, and in various
places famines and plagues; and there will be dreadful
portents and great signs from heaven. “But before all this
occurs, they will arrest you and persecute you; they will
hand you over to synagogues and prisons, and you will be
brought before kings and governors because of my
name. This will give you an opportunity to tes�fy. So make
up your minds not to prepare your defense in advance; for I
will give you words and a wisdom that none of your
opponents will be able to withstand or contradict. You will
be betrayed even by parents and brothers, by rela�ves and
friends; and they will put some of you to death. You will be
hated by all because of my name. But not a hair of your
head will perish. By your endurance you will gain your souls.
“Do not be terrified.”
Even a superficial study of history will reveal that every
genera�on has experienced their own version of
humankind’s brutality. Jesus knew what we would face
throughout history yet he admonished, “Do not be
terrified.” How can we remain calm and at peace in the
midst of such horrendous events? Peace comes from the
assurance that God is in control of history, working his will
even in the face of man’s inhumanity to man. He has our
eternal welfare within his control; we need not fear death or
eternity. In this passage Jesus warns, “some of you they will
put to death … but not a hair of your head will perish.” This
seemingly contradictory statement can comfort us and give
us peace only if we believe in the resurrec�on, and Jesus’
power to preserve us for eternity even in death. If we see
this temporal life as all-important, we will be terrified of
losing it, if we see it as a stepping stone to eternity where
life becomes full and complete, we will not live in fear.
Vangelo di Oggi: Luke 21,5-19 In quel tempo, mentre alcuni
parlavano del tempio, che era ornato di belle pietre e di doni
vo�vi, Gesù disse: «Verranno giorni nei quali, di quello che
vedete, non sarà lasciata pietra su pietra che non sarà
distru#a». Gli domandarono: «Maestro, quando dunque
accadranno queste cose e quale sarà il segno, quando esse
staranno per accadere?». Rispose: «Badate di non lasciarvi
ingannare. Mol� infa* verranno nel mio nome dicendo: “Sono
io”, e: “Il tempo è vicino”. Non andate dietro a loro! Quando
sen�rete di guerre e di rivoluzioni, non vi terrorizzate, perché
prima devono avvenire queste cose, ma non è subito la fine».
Poi diceva loro: «Si solleverà nazione contro nazione e regno
contro regno, e vi saranno in diversi luoghi terremo�, cares�e e
pes�lenze; vi saranno anche fa* terrifican� e segni grandiosi
dal cielo. Ma prima di tu#o questo me#eranno le mani su di voi
e vi perseguiteranno, consegnandovi alle sinagoghe e alle
prigioni, trascinandovi davan� a re e governatori, a causa del
mio nome. Avrete allora occasione di dare tes�monianza.
Me#etevi dunque in mente di non preparare prima la vostra
difesa; io vi darò parola e sapienza, cosicché tu* i vostri
avversari non potranno resistere né controba#ere. Sarete
tradi� perfino dai genitori, dai fratelli, dai paren� e dagli amici,
e uccideranno alcuni di voi; sarete odia� da tu* a causa del
mio nome. Ma nemmeno un capello del vostro capo andrà
perduto. Con la vostra perseveranza salverete la vostra vita».
