Sunday’s Readings: 33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time Malachi 3: 19-20a Psalm 98: 5-6, 7-8, 9 2 Thessalonians 3: 7-12 Luke 21: 5-19 In looking at today’s Gospel reading, as the people are admiring their Temple, and as Jesus tells them of its ultimate impending destruction, I am reminded of the 2019 fire at Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. The sudden and total destruction of a revered and holy site is a traumatic moment, representing the loss of a piece of history, culture, and religion.
