Weekly Reflection
The Sun of Justice
11-16-2025 | We Celebrate Worship Resource, Vol. 49, No. 1The readings we hear today are downright frightening. They look ahead to the end of the world, and it is not pretty. Jesus and the prophets each warn of the horrors of that day. "All the proud and all evildoers will be stubble, and the day that is coming will set them on fire" (Malachi 3:19). "There will be powerful earthquakes, famines, and plagues ... they will seize and persecute you ... they will put some of you to death" (Luke 21:11, 12, 16). But even as we hear this, we can take comfort in the fact that we remain pilgrims of hope, no matter the trials and tribulations that will come.
Our hope is anchored in the Lord, who is the resurrection and the life. Yes, there will be pain and suffering. Sometimes it will be so strong and so pervasive and unyielding that it may seem that the end of the world has come. But no matter what, a new day always dawn, and "there will arise the sun of justice with its healing rays." (Malachi 3:20) To those who live justly, who live as Jesus' disciples, "not a hair on your head will be destroyed" (Luke 21:18). Just as each of these readings ends on a note of hope, so will the pilgrimage of our lives and the life of the world.
When have you felt that your world was collapsing or that the world was falling apart? What gave you hope?

El Sol de la Justicia
Las lecturas de hoy son realmente aterradoras. Nos hablan del fin del mundo, y el panorama es desolador. Jesús y los profetas advierten de los horrores de aquel día. "Todos los orgullosos y malhechores seran como paja, y el día que viene los consumirá" (Malaquías 3:19). "Habrá grandes terremotos, epidemias y hambres ... los apresaran y los perseguirán ... a algunos los matarán" (Lucas 21:11, 12, 16). Pero aun al escuchar esto, podemos consolarnos sabiendo que seguimos siendo peregrinos de esperanza, sin importar las pruebas y tribulaciones que nos aguardan.
Nuestra esperanza está anclada en el Señor, quien es la resurrección y la vida. Sí, habrá dolor y sufrimiento. A veces será tan intenso, tan omnipresente e implacable que parecera que el fin del mundo ha llegado. Pero pase lo que pase, siempre amanece un nuevo día, y "brillará el sol de justicia, que les traerá la salvación" (Malaquías 3:20). A quienes viven con justicia, a quienes viven como discípulos de Jesús, "ni un cabello de la cabeza se caerá" (Lucas 21:18). Así como cada una de estas lecturas termina con una nota de esperanza, así también lo hara la peregrinacion de nuestras vidas y la vida del mundo.
¿En que ocasiones has sentido que tu mundo se derrumbaba o que el mundo se desmoronaba? ¿Qué te dio esperanza?
