Let’s explore some of the themes that we discover in the Mass readings for the 33rd Sunday of the Year.





1st Reading – Malachi 3:19-20a






  • The day is coming when all the proud and evildoers will be stubble that is set on fire.




  • For those who fear the Lord, there will arise a sun of justice with its healing rays.





Psalm – 98:5-9






  • “The Lord comes to rule the earth with justice.”




  • The world and all living things will rejoice in the presence of the Lord.





2nd Reading – 2nd Thessalonians 3:7-12






  • Paul recalls the example he set for the people, reminding them that if anyone was unwilling to work, neither should that one eat.




  • The people are exhorted to work quietly and eat their own food.





Gospel – Luke 21:5-19






  • While people are talking about the votive offerings and costly stones of the temple, Jesus tells them that the days will come when not a stone will be left upon another.




  • The Lord tells them that wars and insurrections will happen, but do not be terrified; his followers will be persecuted, but they will be given wisdom to speak before their adversaries.
