NOVEMBER 17, 2019 - KNUTE ROCKNE ALL AMERICAN - (1940) - 1 HR. 38 MIN Young Norwegian immigrant Knute Rockne (Pat O'Brien) enrolls at Notre Dame University and becomes the first star of its hitherto undistinguished football team, inventing the forward pass among other innovations. Coaching the team after his playing days are through, Rockne turns the school into a football powerhouse thanks in part to freshman halfback George Gipp (Ronald Reagan), whose sudden illness provides the team with its motivation to fight against a bigger, stronger opponent.

NOVEMBER 24, 2019 - SAINT MARIA SOLEDAD - (2018) 1 HR. 50 MIN This new movie tells the inspiring story of the beginnings of the Sister Servants of Mary, a religious order that was founded in Madrid, Spain in 1851 by Fr. Miguel Martinez and Sister Maria Soledad. The new order was dedicated to serving the sick, especially in their own homes. It was a providential foundation because Spain at the time was devastated by epidemics, revolutions, the fierce massacre of religious, and by politicians opposed to the teachings of Christ and his Church. Assistance to the sick in their homes, never done before, was therefore all the more necessary.

Central to the readings are Jesus’ words in the Gospel: “By your perseverance you will secure your lives.” In the Gospel reading, Jesus predicts the Temple’s destruction. For the Jewish people, this would be disastrous since the Temple was where God dwelt among his people and the people carried out their religious sacrifices. Yet the words of Jesus came true. In AD 70, the Roman Army destroyed the Temple and Jerusalem. As Jesus said, “not a stone will be left upon another stone that will not be thrown down.” The Church came to interpret the destruction of the Temple as a sign that the world will come to an end. Jesus’ words here are not meant to be taken literally as though he is offering a blueprint for what will occur at the end of the world. The foundational message is that, just as God brought our world into existence, so God will bring the world as we know it to an end. Jesus warns his followers not to be afraid and not to be deceived by people who claim to read the signs of the times and foretell when the end will happen. As we experience natural disasters, deceptions, and persecution, the virtue that should be the hallmark of our lives is perseverance. Trust in the Lord’s guidance and protection. In the First Reading, the prophet Malachi offers further advice regarding the end of time. When God’s judgment occurs, those who are faithful and “fear the name” of the Lord will experience God’s healing and salvation. Why does Paul, in the Second Reading, tell us that he

worked to pay for his keep? What are some of the virtues that today’s readings

speak of today and how significant are they in your life?

Are you at all influenced by the belief that the world

will come to an end?
