Thank YOU! The Messenger 4 Queen of Angels Church PASTOR’S PAGE We are concluding our Liturgical Year this Thirty-third week of Ordinary Time (from Advent to Ad- vent), as The Church does, with a reflection upon the end times [CCC 1022]. Traditionally The Church turns towards a reflection upon the four last things: death, judgment, heaven, and hell. How fitting it is for us to think about the end of the world in the late autumn when the leaves have fallen, the cold and darkness increases, and the world itself takes upon itself the appearance of death. In the Gospel [Lk 21:5-19] Our Lord is asked by His Apostles, "Teacher, when will this happen? And what sign will there be when all these things are about to happen?” Then Our Lord gives certain signs that must happen first. Let us think about these “signs”, so that we may understand the End of Days and not be deceived into following after many of the false teachings that abound among the false prophets of doom. The very first thing is to say what the end is not. We should dismiss what the Church calls ‘millenarianism’ or ‘secular messianism’. This is the notion that heaven will be here upon earth, that over a certain amount of time of progressive ascendancy mankind will be free of every evil, and we will have heaven on earth. This includes the notion of what some protestant evangelists call “the rapture”, which is totally false and demonically deceptive. Only in Christ, the true messiah and savior, can we overcome the real evil which is sin and in turn come to inherit the kingdom of God which is “not of this world” [Jn 18:36]. We can say something about what the end of the world will be like based upon Revelation in Christ. There are signs, as Our Lord tells us in the Gospel today, and many others, including: The Gospel will have been preached throughout the world [Mt 24:14]. There will be a Great Apostasy [II Thes 2:3; Lk 18:8; Mt 24:12] whereby many shall fall away from the true faith of Christ and His Church. There will be False Messiahs [Lk 21:8] who will make claims about salvation through themselves and not the Catholic Church. What is termed in Sacred Scripture “The Restrainer” will be removed [II Thes 2:6-7], that is, something that greatly holds back evil in the world will be eliminated. There will also be a Great Persecution [Lk 21:12], perhaps world-wide, whereby Christians will be tortured and killed.
