Theme: Hope for a better future.
1st
Reading: Daniel, chapter 12:1-3
Daniel’s prophecy describes the last days,
which would be a period of extreme hardship. God will however send a deliverer
to protect his people. The prophecy is therefore a message of hope for those
who place their trust in the Lord.
2nd
Reading: Hebrews, chapter 10: 11-14, 18
St. Paul writes that Jesus’ sacrifice is the
only sacrifice that takes away sins. Our Lord’s sacrifice therefore supersedes
all others sacrifices. Christ, our Saviour, shares power with God, and this
fact should give hope to all believers.
Gospel
Reading: Mark, chapter 13: 24-32
Jesus describes the terrible events that will
precede the end times, and how everybody will witness his glorious second
coming. Our Lord requires us to observe the signs of the times, and not to
speculate on the exact day of his coming.
