YAC Book Discussion, Tuesdays Until Thanksgiving
Join fellow young adults in their 20s and 30s as we
read The Screwtape Letters, reflect on the moral life,
commit ourselves to doing better and have a rollicking
good time. C.S. Lewis's The Screwtape Letters is a
much-beloved satiric masterpiece. The book is a very
funny yet very serious meditation on the temptation to
sin and on how to overcome it. Meetings will take place
in the Lower Church on Tuesdays at 7:30 p.m. running
weekly until Thanksgiving. We will begin each session
by reading aloud the week's 'letter.' You do not need
your own copy of the book, but it could only help to
read the chapters ahead of time. Contact
Paul Masur ([email protected]) for information on
obtaining a new copy of the book for about $8.50. For
general questions, contact Paul or Daniel Orazio
([email protected]). There is no need to RSVP.
We hope to see you soon!

La esperanza en la tribulación
En esto, la segunda a la última semana del año de la Iglesia, Jesús finalmente ha llegado a Jerusalén.
Cerca de su pasión y muerte, Él nos da una enseñanza de
esperanza-diciéndonos cómo será cuando regrese de nuevo en gloria.
El evangelio de hoy es tomado de la final de un largo discurso en el que describe las tribulaciones de los cuales no
se han visto los gustos "desde el comienzo de la creación
de Dios" (Marcos 13: 9). Describe lo que equivale a una
disolución de la creación de Dios, una "devolución" del
mundo a su estado original de la ausencia de forma y sin
efecto.
En primer lugar, la comunidad-naciones y reinos humanos-se descomponen (ver Marcos 13: 7-8). Entonces la
tierra se detendrá produciendo alimentos y comenzar a
temblar aparte (13: 8). A continuación, la familia será
desgarrado desde dentro y los últimos individuos fieles
será perseguido (13: 9-13). Por último, el Templo será
profanado, la tierra vaciada de la presencia de Dios
(13:14).
En la lectura de hoy, Dios es descrito apagando las luces
que él estableció en el cielo en el mismo principio- el sol,
la luna y las estrellas (véase también Isaías una y diez de
la noche; 34: 4). En esta oscuridad "increado", el Hijo del
hombre, en quien todo fue hecho, vendrá.
Jesús ya nos ha dicho que el Hijo del hombre tiene que
ser humillado y asesinado (Marcos 8:31). Aquí describe
su última victoria, el uso de imágenes royal-divinos extraídas de los del Antiguo Testamento-nubes, gloria, y los
ángeles (ver Daniel 7:13). Él muestra a sí mismo a ser el
cumplimiento de todas las promesas de Dios para salvar a
"los elegidos", el remanente fiel (ver Isaías 43: 6; Jeremías 32:37).
Como primera lectura de hoy nos dice, esta salvación incluirá incluirá la resurrección corporal de los que
duermen en el polvo.
Hemos de mirar para el día de hoy, cuando sus enemigos
sean finalmente hizo estrado de sus pies, como prevé la
epístola de hoy. Podemos esperar en la confianza de saber, al orar en el salmo de hoy, que lo haremos de un
deleite días a su diestra para siempre.
