| Daniel's vision of the four beasts/ Merian |
- Dn 3:75-81 "Give glory and eternal praise to him!" All creation, bless the Lord!
- Lk 21:29-33 “When trees' buds open, you know summer is near; similarly, when you see these things happening, know the Kingdom is near. This generation will not pass away until all this has taken place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but not my words.”
Reflect
- Fr. Reynaldo Matunog homily video: Discern the signs of God's reign; let it affect your life.
- Creighton: "Give glory and eternal praise to him!" We're called to glorify, praise, and worship God. This requires consciousness of the transcendent, an eternal realm that ensures "my words will not pass away." We're called to act with love and justice; caring for one another is caring for God...
- DailyScripture.net: "My words won't pass away": Jesus used the fig tree to teach about reading the signs of the times. The fig tree bore fruit in autumn and early spring. As signs of a changing season are evident, so too are the signs of God's kingdom and his return. The kingdom's 'budding' starts in those receptive to God's word, who will bear the kingdom's fruit of justice, peace, and joy in the Spirit. The Lord gives us signs, not only to warn us but also to rouse us to be ready to receive his kingdom. The "Day of the Lord" will be a day of rejoicing for those who long to see the Lord. The Lord Jesus wants us to be filled with joyful anticipation. While we wait for his physical return, we can know his presence through the Holy Spirit. The Lord comes to those who long for him, speaks tenderly to us, shows us the way to our Father, and gives us hope.
