Daily Mass Gospel Reflection - Being Warned

Word on Fire Ministry ^ | 11.11-22 | Bishop Robert Barron

[MurphsLaw]

Luke 17:26-37 Friends, in today’s Gospel passage,
the Lord compares the clueless behavior of our time with that of Noah.
Listen to his warning:
“Jesus said to his disciples: ‘As it was in the days of Noah,
so it will be in the days of the Son of Man.’”
Those aren’t very reassuring words.

Then he specifies: people were eating and drinking, marrying and being given in marriage
right up to the time of the flood, and then, when it came, with shocking suddenness, they were destroyed.
The end of an old world had arrived, but the inhabitants of that world were clueless.
A new world was coming,
but the prospective citizens of it had no idea how to prepare for it.

Our version of Noah’s world-destroying flood might be the crashing of a huge comet into the earth.
What if we knew that a comet was coming but did nothing about it, adjusted in no way to it?
This was the situation of those in Noah’s time and,
Jesus suggests, those in his own time. And it’s our situation too.
We must prepare for the Lord’s coming by patterning our lives on the Gospel.

+++ Jesus said to his disciples:
“As it was in the days of Noah,
so it will be in the days of the Son of Man;
they were eating and drinking,
marrying and giving in marriage up to the day
that Noah entered the ark,
and the flood came and destroyed them all.
Similarly, as it was in the days of Lot:
they were eating, drinking, buying,
selling, planting, building;
on the day when Lot left Sodom,
fire and brimstone rained from the sky to destroy them all.
So it will be on the day the Son of Man is revealed.
On that day, someone who is on the housetop
and whose belongings are in the house
must not go down to get them,
and likewise one in the field
must not return to what was left behind.
Remember the wife of Lot.
Whoever seeks to preserve his life will lose it,
but whoever loses it will save it.
I tell you, on that night there will be two people in one bed;
one will be taken, the other left.
And there will be two women grinding meal together;
one will be taken, the other left.”
They said to him in reply, “Where, Lord?”
He said to them, “Where the body is,
there also the vultures will gather.”+++

Daily Mass Gospel Reflection - Being Warned

It's too bad that Boobie didn't warn Ben Shapiro and Bergoglio doesn't warn the muslims.

Oh, that's right!

Barron dares hope Hell is empty and Bergoglio doesn't even believe in Hell. He claims unsaved souls are merely extinguished, not punished.

You fool !

Catechism 1821
We can therefore hope in the glory of heaven promised by God to those who
love him and do his will. In every circumstance, each one of us should hope, with
the grace of God, to persevere "to the end" and to obtain the joy of heaven, as God's
eternal reward for the good works accomplished with the grace of Christ. In hope,
the Church prays for "all men to be saved." She longs to be united with Christ,
her Bridegroom, in the glory of heaven:

The Catechism doesn’t say anything about Hell being empty or unsaved souls are extinguished upon death.
