For nearly 40 years, the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD) has embodied Catholic social teaching through pursuing justice and upholding the dignity of the human person. CCHD funds community projects led by low-income individuals. As more Americans feel the weight of the economic crisis, CCHD needs your support in next week s Collection more than ever. Thank you for your generosity. Evangelization In today s Gospel, Jesus assures the people that after much tribulation and suffering, there will be a day of the Lord, the day when God comes to save: And then they will see the Son of Man coming in the cloud with great power and glory. Jesus followers expected that day to occur during their lifetime, but by the time Mark is writing (65 AD), those expectations are being revised. Notice that Mark has Jesus say, But of that day or hour, no one knows. Even today, we do not know the day or the hour when we, as people, or even when we as individuals, will meet our Lord. For that reason, we know that we should always be ready. We, too, are called to live in hope and fidelity. Questions to Ponder What words of hope do you find in today s Gospel, in Hebrews, Daniel and the Psalms? Read: Daniel 12:1-3; Hebrews 11:14,18; Psalm 5:8-11. What can you do to prepare for the day of the Lord? In what way have you seen signs of the coming of the Lord? 4
