Thirty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time (B) Daniel 12:1-3 | Psalm 16:5, 8, 9-10, 11 | Hebrews 10:11-14, 18 | Mark 13:24-32  The readings for this Thirty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time carry an undertone of the "end times." Indeed, we are approaching the conclusion of our year-long liturgical journey of faith. The 33 buttons down the front of your parish priest’s or bishop’s cassock symbolize the 33 years that Jesus Christ spent on Earth. Next week, we will celebrate the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe, with its dedicated readings. As the Church year draws to a close, we are invited to reflect on the profound themes of the end times and the anticipated return of Christ in glory.

Thirty-first Sunday in Ordinary Time (B) Deuteronomy 6:2-6 | Psalm 18:2-3, 3-4, 47, 51 | Hebrews 7:23-28 | Mark 12:28b-34  Every baptized Christian is invited to pursue a life of holiness, a concept known as the universal call to holiness. We have just finished celebrating Hallowtide, which began on October 31st with Halloween and reached its high point yesterday on All Souls Day. These three sacred days encourage us to focus on heaven and remember our shared calling to sainthood. As we do this, we look to the great saints of our faith for inspiration and direction.
