“At that time there shall arise
Michael, the great prince,
guardian of your people;
it shall be a time unsurpassed in distress
since nations began until that time.
At that time your people shall escape,
everyone who is found written in the book.
(Daniel may be speaking to each Pope, warning: “At that time, your people, obedient, forgiven Catholics, shall escape, everyone who is written in the Book.)
“Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake;
some shall live forever,
others shall be an everlasting horror and disgrace.
“But the wise shall shine brightly
like the splendor of the firmament,
and those who lead the many to justice
shall be like the stars forever.”
Responsorial Psalm Ps 16:5, 8, 9-10, 11
O LORD, my allotted portion and my cup,
you it is who hold fast my lot.
I set the LORD ever before me;
with him at my right hand I shall not be disturbed.
R. You are my inheritance, O Lord!
my body, too, abides in confidence;
because you will not abandon my soul to the netherworld,
nor will you suffer your faithful one to undergo corruption.
R. You are my inheritance, O Lord!
fullness of joys in your presence,
the delights at your right hand forever.
R. You are my inheritance, O Lord!
Reading 2 Heb 10:11-14, 18
Every priest stands daily at his ministry,
offering frequently those same sacrifices
that can never take away sins.
But This One offered one sacrifice for sins,
and took His seat forever at the right hand of God;
now He waits until His enemies are made His footstool.
For by one offering
he has made perfect forever those who are being consecrated.
Where there is forgiveness of these,
there is no longer offering for sin.
GOSPEL Mk 13:24-32
Jesus said to his disciples:
“In those days after that tribulation
the sun will be darkened,
and the moon will not give its light,
and the stars will be falling from the sky,
and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.
(The Creation Program will run down after He has made His enemies into His footstool.)
“And then they will see ‘the Son of Man coming in the clouds’
with great power and glory,
and then He will send out the angels
and gather His elect from the four winds,
from the end of the earth to the end of the sky.
(If we are sane, we should want more than anything to be among His elect.)
“Learn a lesson from the fig tree.
When its branch becomes tender and sprouts leaves,
you know that summer is near.
In the same way, when you see these things happening,
know that He is near, at the gates.
(We all know that the seasons change, and we can tell what is coming by looking at the programmed entities. When we see the things happening above, we know that The Creation Program is running down and Judgment 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.
(Our ration of genes, from Noah and his wife, have filled the earth. His ration of genes won’t pass away until everything that is supposed to happen, happens. Then, The Creation Program will be erased, or self-erase. But, God’s Word will not pass away.)
“But of that day or hour, no one knows,
neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.”
(Only The Loving Programmer knows when Judgment and Erasure are coming. But, we know that it is, and should spend our lives accordingly.)
