Lk 21.29-33

"Amen, I day to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have taken place.” Lk 21.32

"O God, You speak to us in many ways and especially through Scripture, but we do not always comprehend.

I remember Jesus spoke about the great tribulations and His coming on a cloud and all happening during the generation of the people to whom He was speaking -but He has not yet come - or has He?

Grant that when I hear Your words that I do not understand, to set aside my difficulties until I do understand them for Your words are truth and life.

I ask this through Our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit one God, for ever and ever. Amen

Operatio: Reflect on “interpretation” - plain meaning, symbolic meaning; consistent with the whole of Scripture. In prayer ask for the grace of understanding and patience with regards to difficult texts and the Holy Spirit will enlighten and guide me and one day I will I understand.

Tomorrow’s reading: Lk 21.34-36
