Mark 13:24-32
Year B -
33th Sunday in ordinary time
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my word shall not pass away.
Matter is temporal, but the spirit is eternal. God has created the world for a purpose. Just as the farmer waits for the day of harvest, the day will come when I will come to collect the fruit of my vineyard.
The materialistic man thinks that everything will end with death; this is why he tries to enjoy life to the full while ignoring the divine laws and endangering the life of his soul. The man who acknowledges life after death knows that there will be an unknown spiritual world that does not depend of his control but of the divine will. Every human being has to be born, then he grows and eventually dies according to the will of God. No one has come back from the dead. This is everyone’s fate. I came back from the dead because I triumphed over it; I have promised the gift of the resurrection to those who follow me. Sin is the reason for which everyone has to die, for this Adam and Eve received the sentence to return to dust from where they had been created. I have come to open the doors of the Heavenly Paradise, in which all the elected will begin their new life after the resurrection and will live in the glory of eternity. He who meditates about his own death, feels fear of the chastisement of God for his sins, and begins to prepare himself for eternal life. My word is the seed that begins to grow and gives fruit in his soul, it warns him of danger and takes him though the way of life. There are many who are interested in knowing when the final day of the world will be. Through the centuries there have been false prophecies; and many have been deceived. I tell you sincerely, the end must come to each one on the day of his own death. This is the reason for which you must be prepared, because no one knows the day nor the hour, only my Heavenly Father, whose authority is absolute. Regarding the end of times, there will also come that moment, but this must not be the preoccupation for the soul that looks for God. Heaven and earth will pass. Everything that is material will disappear, but my words are the words that gave origin to creation, the words of salvation, the words of eternal life that will never lose their value. He who has ears, listen.

24 But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light.
