Reflection - Week of November 16, 2025
Question of the Week:
What habits will I now adopt to make sure that I am ready always?
The disciples, as usual, ask Jesus the wrong question. You can hardly blame them, for they are worried about the future and want to make sure they are prepared. But Jesus warns them that they will easily be deceived by signs they may take as the end of the world. The lesson Jesus offers is that the best way to be ready is to stay ready. If you are ready for the end all the time, you can spend your time working to spread the gospel and put it into practice, as Jesus commanded his disciples to do, rather than minding other people’s business and sponging off of others, as Paul warned the Thessalonians. The day of the Lord is near. Let us put our faith into practice every day so that if today is the day we are already all ready.
Jesus warns about those who will use the dark times as an opportunity to lead people astray. There will always be those who try to exploit events to stir up fear, fear that will lead desperate people to turn to them as their savior. Our Savior is the Resurrection and the Life, who preached a gospel of love and mercy, not fear and inhumanity.

Resumption of Sunday Mass Obligation
"Effective Easter Sunday, April 4 (or as of the Easter Vigil, April 3), I am ending the dispensation from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass, which has been in effect since mid-March 2020. However, anyone who is sick, may have been exposed to anyone with COVID-19, or who has a health condition that would endanger themselves or others by being present in church, continues to be dispensed."
-Bishop Larry Silva
