Don Fabio Rosini, director of the University Pastoral Service of the Diocese of Rome, comments on the Gospel of 11/17/2024, XXXIII Sunday of Ordinary Time In the Gospel of this Sunday, Mk 13:24-32, Jesus warns his disciples that this world will pass away and invites them to reflect, just as he invites each of us to reflect: what are we basing our lives on? From the Gospel according to Mark At that time, Jesus said to his disciples: "In those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken. Then they will see the Son of Man coming on clouds with power and great glory. He will send his angels and gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of the sky. “Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. So you too, when you see these things happening, know that he is near, right at the doors. Truly, I say to you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father.”
