VERSES: Mark 13:24-32

VERSES (Year of Faith)

Mark 13:24-32

The gospel for this Sunday tells us about signs of end times,  skies falling, hunger, chaos etc., but the assurance of the presence of God is there. Coincidentally this year is also associated with a possible end of the world scenario based on the Mayan calendar which refers to "reset" the world. In this scenario, people would usually say that if ever that day comes, they would do good to their family and friends. But why only when we know it still far, why right today where you can't delay doing good for them? Why also delay doing good for yourself (myself included). It's actually almost the  end of the liturgical year and on our way to advent and Christmas (which we look forward to), why first focus on what stage are we right now? 

Verses: Reflections in the Year of Faith

In this year of faith let Katolikong Kabataan take you on a reflective journey as we share our own personal reflections on gospel readings within the year sharing our experiences that would inspire people to be rooted in the faith and in God. We hope that you will join us with articles that are worth reading especially when reflecting on the word of God.

We are also open for contributors for their own refelctions to be featured in the blog. You may e-mail us at fj_islands@hotmail.com with the subject Verses reflections. Please do include your name, company/parish so we could also include them in the  blog post. We hope that you will join us in the year long journey and hope to compile reflections for the whole year!
