Mass Intentions for the Week

November 12th & 13th, 2016

Scripture Insights Today’s Scriptures continue to focus on the end-times, the fulfillment of God’s plan of salvation. This moment is often referred to as the Day of the Lord. At that time God appears in power and maj-esty, completing the mission of Jesus Christ with jus-tice and righteousness. Descriptions of this time appear in several places in Scripture, including today’s passage from Malachi. It is important to note that such depictions use meta-phorical language; they are not literal scenarios. Malachi uses the image of a blazing fire, an image often used as a sign of God’s intervention in human affairs; for example, the pillar of fire that led the Is-raelites to freedom. In the Gospel, Jesus speaks of the destruction of the Temple-a magnificent structure revered by the Jew-ish people. The Temple was actually destroyed by the Romans some decades later, and it is unlikely that Jesus was predicting such as event. Jesus then speaks about the “signs” that will precede the end-time. Again, many of these events came about in lat-er years; we experience some of them in our own time. But Jesus cautions that these cosmic events must be understood carefully; they are not to be seen as literal indications of the Day of the Lord. In the midst of both descriptions there is a strong element of hope and redemption. Malachi proclaims that the sun of justice will arise for those who fear (are in awe of ) the name of the Lord. And Jesus promises those who are persecuted that not “a hair on your head will be destroyed.” Paul’s instruction to the early Church is also encour-aging. He offer's his own example of ministry as a model for others, asking them (and us) to live in har-mony and never to be a burden on others or be dis-tracted by other people’s affairs. His message is sim-ple; stay focused on the work of the Lord. What similarities and differences do you find in the First Reading and the Gospel? What does the Second Reading tell you about prob-lems the community was facing? Are these readings about the end-time encouraging or frightening to you?

Remembrance Book In many Christian traditions November is a month of remembrance, initiated by two special autumn feasts. All Saints on November 1st and Feast of the Holy Dead on November 2nd. These feast help us remember those we have loved who have jour-neyed through death. Though they have died, they can be very real and close to us because “ One lives forever in the hearts of those who remember the holy dead of our families and our friends—those who have recently died and also those who have died years ago and continue to live in our “memory harts” by plac-ing their names in the book of Remembrance at the front of the church.
