33rd Sunday Ordinary Time, Cycle B, 15 Nov 2009

Click here to download and listen to this homily (19 minutes) given by Fr Thomas Weise. End Times predictions have been popular since the time of Noah. There is a new movie in town 2012 which sights the end of the Mayan Calender on 21 December 2012 as the end of the world. I remember all the hype about the end of the world at Y2K, yet we are still here. At the end of the Lord's Prayer at Mass we hear, "Deliver us, Lord, from every evil, and grant us peace in our day. In your mercy keep us free from sin and protect us from all anxiety as we wait in joyful hope for the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ." Fear and Anxiety prevents us from doing our best for God, instead let us wait in joyful hope. I have no control over the time of my death, only our Loving Father knows the time for each of us. So have no fear and Trust in the Lord.

Readings: Daniel 12:1-3, Psalm 16; Hebrews 10:11-14, 18; Mark 13:24-32.
