There’s plenty of darkness to be found in the world: natural disasters, the death of a family member or friend, work or school stress, financial hardship, loss of a friendship, loss of a job, homelessness, illness, or divorce. How that darkness affects us depends upon our age, our background, our life experiences, and our faith. So, what gives us hope amidst all the darkness? Where do we turn to find light in the world?
This week's readings:
Gospel - Mark 13: 24-32
1st Reading - Daniel 12: 1-3
Psalm 16
2nd Reading - Hebrews 10: 11-14, 1
Since this week's episode mentions the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple, I will be posting pictures showing what the Temple would have looked like at the time of Jesus (from the model at the Israel Museum in Jerusalem) and what the Temple Mount looks like today. I will also include an image of the Mount of Olives for perspective.
