“…The message: there are moments in life when we must release the familiar to embrace a greater purpose to receiving an invitation to a life filled with richer meaning and a clearer sense of direction.

Christ is the ONLY answer, Always and Forever!

This Gospel passage serves as an invitation to evaluate our own preparedness to let go of the comfort of the familiar and welcome a higher purpose.

By doing so, we trust that, like these disciples, our journey in following Christ will unfold on a path with profound significance and guided by divine wisdom of God.”

"In the gospel Of Luke 21:12-19, Jesus tells his disciples that tough times are coming, with people treating them badly.

But he encourages them to stay strong, trust in God during hard times, and believe that things will get better in the end.

The message is about keeping faith when things get tough.

Today is Red Wednesday, where we show support for Christians who are having a rough time because of their faith around the world.

The color red is a reminder of the people who've suffered for what they believe in.

So, as we think about what Jesus said in the Bible, we also think about people today who might be facing hard times because of their beliefs.

Christ is the ONLY answer, Always and Forever!

It's a day to stand together, help each other out, and make sure everyone can practice their faith without any problems.”

In the gospel of Luke 21:5-11, Jesus tells his disciples that the Jerusalem Temple will be destroyed.

This actually happened in 70 AD when the Romans wrecked the Temple.

This serves as a reminder that worldly things don't last forever.

Jesus also talks about signs before the end times—wars, earthquakes, famines, and plagues. While these might sound scary, the main message is to stick to your faith and trust in God, no matter what's happening around you.

Christ is the ONLY answer, Always and Forever!

So, the passage is like a heads-up to stay spiritually strong and not get too caught up in temporary stuff.

It's a call to focus on what really matters—faith and doing what's right—especially when life gets tough.”
