Homily from Heartspace Manila formation, November 13, 2021 (Anticipated Mass)

The Gospel reading for the 33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time was Mark 13:24-32. In it, Jesus painted what many may find a disturbing picture of the end times. Fr. Pachomius Ma. San Juan, OSB, in his homily tells us not to fear such predictions, but rather to focus on what matters while we yet live on earth. The message is one of loving servanthood, of hope, and of ultimate redemption.
