THIRTY-THIRD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME C Lectionary #159
At the end of the liturgical year, we think about the “day of the Lord”—every day is that day, but we also believe that time itself is moving toward the full revelation of the reign of God. What is your attitude toward time and history?
Malachi 3:19-20a. The prophet sees the day of the Lord as dawning with fire to burn the unjust and with light to enliven the just.
Psalm of the Day: Ps (97) 98. In this enthronement hymn, all of creation joins in glorious song and music to acclaim the Lord.
