Gospel Reflection: Luke 21:25-28,34-36, Sunday, December 1, 2024
In this week’s Gospel, Jesus teaches his disciples to be vigilant so that they will be ready when the Son of Man comes in glory. Discuss with your family: Have you ever had a hard day? We all have good days and hard days, don’t we? What did you do to help you through your hard day? In this week’s Gospel, Jesus tells us about the things that will happen when he comes again. Some people will be afraid. But Jesus tells us we don’t need to be afraid. Jesus tells his disciples that they can stand tall because he loves them and has saved them. We can trust Jesus. He loves us and is with us, no matter what kind of day we are having. We can tell God about our day and our feelings in our prayer. He always listens to us. He gives us strength and courage to get through hard days.
Pope Francis:
The Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network is a pontifical work with the mission of mobilizing Catholics through prayer and action, in the face of the challenges confronting humanity and the mission of the Church. The prayer intention for November is: For those who have lost a child. In his prayer intention, Pope Francis says, “To offer comfort to these parents who have lost a child, we need to listen to them, to be close to them with love, to care responsibly for the pain they feel, imitating how Jesus Christ consoled those who were afflicted.” (Pope Francis).
