Weekly Reflection

Four Last Things: Death, Judgment, Heaven, and Hell

11-17-2024 | Fr. Jess Ty

Dear Family of God,

Jesus said: “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.” The autumn leaves are reminding us not only that winter is near but that life in this world is temporary, and death is certain. Our Liturgical Cycle B is ending, and we will start a new liturgical calendar in two weeks.
