Thirty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time

WHEN? WHEN? WHEN?

Biblical authors and characters are frustratingly elu-sive whenever we try to pin them down on the precise time of the end of the world. We tend to think that since it’s a scenario they love to describe in so much detail, and one about which they seem to have so much other information, that they’d be able to give us a date and time to put into our Day of the Lord planners. But, as much as the Holy Spirit has inspired them, they have not been given the precise chronology; that remains to be revealed by God and God alone. What may be most frustrating to us is not so much not having the clear-cut information, but rather the types of lives this lack of information calls us to lead. Malachi tells us the blazing day will come, but our only way to be saved by the healing sun of justice is to live in awe and fear of the Lord. Paul instructs us not to be idle, but to work for our place in the community awaiting Christ’s return. Jesus him-self doesn’t give the day or time, but knows that those who follow him will have to persevere day by day, in steadfast and joyful hope.

IN GOD’S TIME It was a very strong component of Israel’s piety that the destruction of the Jerusalem temple would signal the end of the world. In Matthew’s and Mark’s presentation of today’s Gospel scene, Jesus leaves the temple to foretell its downfall; he makes the connection to Israel’s belief. In Luke, Jesus remains in the temple, predicting its downfall as one of many tribulations that the early Christian community will endure. This is a broader view of the end-times. Throughout history, many monumental buildings rose in splendor and fell violently. In our own day we have had some experience of this. Jesus seems to know the natural human reaction that when this happens to us, then surely it means the end of the world, even though the same thing has happened time and time again over the face of God’s earth and the course of centuries. We are reminded today that God’s plans are not tied to our architecture; God’s time is not bound by our calendars. Whoever says they are is a liar. What God’s own word calls us to do today is to perse-vere in faithful lives, until that day—whenever it may be, however it may happen—is fulfilled.

THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING HOLY NAME PARISH

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION With Thanksgiving approaching, we think of the quest of the Puritans who arrived on the Mayflower from their first exile in Leyden, Holland. Like the Catholics of England, they were religious dissenters who suffered penalties for not participating in the worship life of the established church. The Catholics established monasteries, schools, and con-vents on the continent to assure the vigor of their faith’s intellectual and spiritual life. The Puritans fled to the toler-ant Netherlands with similar hopes of preserving their way of life, but were unable to adapt to Dutch ways. There were Catholics who made a similar colonial jour-ney. The hero of the story is George Calvert, Lord Balti-more, the former Secretary of State of Britain and a Catho-lic. He proposed that King Charles I establish a proprietary colony that he would own and rule, named Maryland in honor of the Catholic Queen Henrietta Maria. George Cal-vert died unexpectedly in the midst of this project, but his son Cecil faithfully carried out his father’s wishes. Maryland became a symbol of freedom for wealthy recusant English families, as well as for the poor who held to the Catholic faith despite great hardship. From the start, the colony was open to Protestants and Catholics equally, and the seeds of the religious freedom so dear to the American spirit were sown with the first colonists in 1634. —James Field, © Copyright, J.
