Praise be our Lord Jesus Christ, the alpha and the omega. Who was, Who is and Who is yet to come. Let our hearts be opened and ready. Let us remain stedfast in prayer as we prepare ourselves to receive Him.

O Lord my God Your everlasting Word and Will be done. Amen

GOSPEL
Luke 21:29–33

Jesus told his disciples a parable. “Consider the fig tree and all the other trees. When their buds burst open, you see for yourselves and know that summer is now near; in the same way, when you see these things happening, know that the Kingdom of God is near. Amen, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have taken place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.”

Although not apparent Your Word for Your faithful today is of hope, love and salvation.

Through our steadfast prayers and communion with our heavenly Father we are assured that nothing and no one can separate us from the love of God our Father. His loving embrace shelters us from harm.

Lord Jesus, great is Your Love for us that in times of great distress trials and tribulations, You are at hand to guide Your faithful to safety. And should we have an opportunity to lay down our lives for Your glory or for our brethren; we are assured of eternal life with You. Amen

GOSPEL
Luke 21:20–28

Jesus said to his disciples:
“When you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, know that its desolation is at hand. Then those in Judea must flee to the mountains. Let those within the city escape from it, and let those in the countryside not enter the city, for these days are the time of punishment when all the Scriptures are fulfilled. Woe to pregnant women and nursing mothers in those days, for a terrible calamity will come upon the earth and a wrathful judgment upon this people. They will fall by the edge of the sword and be taken as captives to all the Gentiles; and Jerusalem will be trampled underfoot by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.

“There will be signs in the sun, the moon, and the stars, and on earth nations will be in dismay, perplexed by the roaring of the sea and the waves. People will die of fright in anticipation of what is coming upon the world, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. But when these signs begin to happen, stand erect and raise your heads because your redemption is at hand.”
