Marriage Building Blocks Are you a skunk, a turtle, or an owl? In terms of conflict
resolution, skunks just make a stink about it, often with a lot of
noise. Turtles ignore or hide from the problem. Owls look the
problem over, think about it, then suggest a solution. Be wise.

Stewardship in His Name…. Today’s readings paint a somewhat frightening picture of the
end of time. But the Gospel ends with the assurance to faithful
stewards that those who persevere will be saved.

Background on the Gospel Reading
Luke 21: 5-19 In the context of Luke, today's Gospel appears near the end of Jesus' teaching in Jerusalem, just
prior to the events that will lead to his crucifixion. His warnings and predictions are ominous but
can be read in many ways.
To those who first heard Luke's Gospel, those may have been words of encouragement. The
destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem by the Romans was history (70 A.D.); Luke's Gospel,
Catholic scholars propose, was written between 80 and 90 A.D. His audience was probably Gentile
Christians. Luke here tries to interpret the fall of Jerusalem for them and to locate it in God's plans
for humankind (salvation history). At the same time, Luke is suggesting to his audience that there
will be a considerable elapse of time before Jesus' final coming. Luke's listeners have likely seen
much upheaval and are anxious to know if these are the signs of Jesus' coming. Luke is urging
greater patience.
In the second part of today's Gospel, Jesus warns that his followers will face persecution for their
beliefs. Luke presents persecution as an opportunity for the followers of Jesus for “It will lead to
your giving testimony” (Luke 21:13). In persecution God's wisdom and power will be shown in the
example of followers of Jesus. Perseverance in the face of persecution will lead to their salvation.
Here Jesus is assuring his followers that God is present to all believers, even in times of trouble.
Ultimately, Jesus will witness to this with his own death. As disciples of Jesus, we try to follow his
example, trusting in God's mercy and protection, even when we are facing difficulties. Taken from Loyola Press Sunday Connection
