2 Readings for the 33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time - Year B 33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time Feast of Christ the King 18th November th November 2018 First Reading Daniel 12:1-13 Daniel 7:13-14 Second Reading Hebrews 10:11-14, 18 Apocalypse 1:5-8 Gospel Mark 13:24-32 John 18:33-37 PSALM RESPONSE: GOSPEL ACCL: Keep me safe, O God; You are my hope. Alleluia, alleluia! Be watchful, prayer constantly, that you may be worthy to stand before the Son of Man. Alleluia. GOSPEL: Jesus said to his disciples: In those days, after the time of distress, the sun will be darkened, the moon will lose its brightness, the stars will come falling from heaven and the powers in the heavens will be shaken, And then they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory; then too He will send the angels to gather His chosen from the four winds, from the ends of the world to the ends of heaven. Take the fig tree as a parable: as soon as its twigs grow supple and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. So with you when you see these things happening: know that He is near, at the very gates. I tell solemnly, before this generation has passed away all these things will have taken place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. But as for that day or hour, nobody knows it, neither the angels of heaven, nor the Son; no one but the Father. Did You Know? The language that Jesus uses here to describe the end times is called apocalyptic. Apocalyptic writing was very common and popular from about the second century before Jesus birth to the second century after His death. The Bible contains many examples of this apocalyptic style, e.g. the Book of Revelation. It is a particular literary form with specialist rules for interpretation. It is perhaps the most misunderstood style of writing in the Scriptures. It is highly symbolic and should never be read literally. The first Christian communities believed that the end times and Christ s second coming was imminent. It was only after many years, when this did not eventuate, that the language of the second coming was tempered. It is generally accepted by scholars that Mark s Gospel was the first one written, probably about AD.

If you would like a copy of Pope Francis Message, please contact Kathleen at the Parish Office THE ROOT OF ALL SIN IS PRIDE To practice humility is to cut at the very roots of sin. The Devil will do anything to stop our being humble and he is very subtle. He deceives us - blinds us to the fact that pride is the greatest of all sins. He leads us to think that other sins are more important, and so the most deadly one slips through un-noticed. When we do realise the importance of pride in general, he blinds us to the reality of pride in our own case. Finally, even when we do recognise our own pride, he so plays upon our self-love that we cannot face the conversion necessary. Discouragement is itself a form of pride.
