[quote:K.Kool:MV8yMDY4NjYzXzM0ODIxMjU4XzU3NDE2ODA1] [quote:Anonymous Coward 7269281:MV8yMDY4NjYzXzM0ODEwNDA0X0Q4MTFCMTZD] A week or two ago our priest told us at mass that you will be noticing in the days ahead the readings will be focusing on the "end of days" themes which coincides with the end of the liturgical year before advent starts. So although it seems to fit with the stuff happening in the world today, there is a purpose as the why the readings are so doom and gloom these last few weeks....if that makes you feel any better. [/quote] Yes, I realize its part of the liturgical calendar, but the readings and the Mass speak to everyone personally in real time, too. :hf: [/quote]
Original Message
I went to 8 a.m Mass, the first reading was:
"A reading from the prophet Jeremiah.
I will cause a good seed to spring forth from David.
See, the days are coming - it is the Lord who speaks -
when I am going to fulfill the promise I made to the House of Israel and to the House of Judah:
'In those days and at that time,
I will make a virtuous Branch grow for David,
who shall practice honesty and integrity in the land.
In those days Judah shall be saved
and Israel shall dwell in confidence.
And this is the name the city will be called:
The Lord-our-Integrity'.
The word of the Lord."
Do you think it is referring to the current situation in Israel?
