Gospel Luke 21.5-19 www.loyolapress.com

Jesus predicts the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem and

warns his followers that persecution will come before the end time.

Gospel Reflection

In the context of Luke, today's Gospel appears near the end of

Jesus' teaching in Jerusalem, just prior to the events that will lead

to his crucifixion. His warnings and predictions are ominous but

can be read in many ways.

To those who first heard Luke's Gospel, those may have been

words of encouragement. The destruction of the Temple in

Jerusalem by the Romans was history (70 A.D.); Luke's Gospel,

Catholic scholars propose, was written between 80 and

90 A.D. His audience was probably Gentile Christians. Luke here

tries to interpret the fall of Jerusalem for them and to locate it in

God's plans for humankind (salvation history). At the same time,

Luke is suggesting to his audience that there will be a considerable

elapse of time before Jesus' final coming. Luke's listeners have

likely seen much upheaval and are anxious to know if these are the

signs of Jesus' coming. Luke is urging greater patience.

In the second part of today's Gospel, Jesus warns that his followers

will face persecution for their beliefs. Luke presents persecution as

an opportunity for the followers of Jesus for “It will lead to your

giving testimony” (Luke 21:13). In persecution God's wisdom and

power will be shown in the example of followers of Jesus.

Perseverance in the face of persecution will lead to their salvation.

Here Jesus is assuring his followers that God is present to all

believers, even in times of trouble. Ultimately, Jesus will witness

to this with his own death. As disciples of Jesus, we try to follow

his example, trusting in God's mercy and protection, even when we

are facing difficulties.

Hearing Assistance: The church is equipped with a hearing

assistance system. If you require it, please approach Fr. Placid

before mass.
