Cards are available from the School Office.

Thirty-Third Sunday in Ordinary Time, Cycle C

Sunday, November 13, 2022

Luke 21:5-19

Jesus predicts the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem and warns his followers that persecution will come before the end time.

In next Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus describes some terrible events and God’s care for his people. Luke reminds us that Jesus told his followers that many bad things would happen, but that they were to trust that God would be with them, even through these difficulties. Jesus reminds us of the bigger picture—that God is always watching over us, in good times and in hard times. We can trust that God cares for us always.
