Here are some of the themes that we find in the Mass readings for the 33rd Sunday of the Year.

1st Reading – Daniel 12:1-3

  • Daniel has a vision that Michael, the great prince, will arise in a time unsurpassed in distress.
  • Some people will awake and shine forever, others will be an everlasting horror and disgrace.

Psalm – 16:5,8-11

  • “You are my inheritance, O Lord!”
  • The Lord does not abandon us to the netherworld, but will show us the path of life.

2nd Reading – Hebrews 10:11-14,18

  • Christ offered one sacrifice for sins by his perfect offering.
  • He now waits until his enemies are made his footstool.

Gospel – Mark 13:24-32

  • Jesus speaks of the cataclysmic events that will follow tribulation, where the Son of Man will come in power and glory and send the angels to gather the elect.
  • Learning a lesson from the fig tree, the Lord invites the disciples to discern the seasons of life and be ready, for no one will know the hour when it happens.
