Preparation for Sunday mass: Luke 21:25 – 28. 34 - 36


We present here the text that will be read at Sunday mass, the eighth Sunday of the Great Advent (for the Great Advent see here), and we formulate some questions that might help us prepare to hear the reading.

son of man

Jesus said: 25 "There will be signs in the sun, the moon, and the stars, and on the earth distress among nations confused by the roaring of the sea and the waves. 26 People will faint from fear and foreboding of what is coming upon the world, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 27 Then they will see 'the Son of Man coming in a cloud' with power and great glory. 28 Now when these things begin to take place, stand up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near."

34 "Be on guard so that your hearts are not weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of this life, and that day catch you unexpectedly, 35 like a trap. For it will come upon all who live on the face of the whole earth. 36 Be alert at all times, praying that you may have the strength to escape all these things that will take place, and to stand before the Son of Man."

- Who is the Son of Man coming on a cloud?

- When will this all take place?

- How can we be alert at all times?
