The End Times
As we take a lesson from the fig tree, we learn that the changing seasons give us a way to understand the final destiny of creation. Follow this link for my homily for this weekend.

Faithful, or even just thoughtful criticisms are always welcome. Uninformed rudeness to other posters or to the Lord and His Church is not.
I also reserve the right to reject comments promoting things like private revelations and fringe points of view, if it seems to me like they are being presented in a misleading way.
If you raise a disagreement with something I say but I do not respond, please do not feel slighted or insulted, or imagine that this automatically means I disagree or agree with you. It's just that I don't find the comment box to be a constructive medium for certain forms of debate.
Father Charles, that was one GREAT homily. It's amazing to me that when you mention "end times" to Catholics and Orthodox, we get this nebulous, far off concept of a perfect world in the Kingdom of God that occurs with the coming of Christ. But when you talk about that among nearly every other sect, they shiver and can tell you exactly how horrible it will be, how our days are numbered, how so-and-so got the bible-code cracked to reveal the approximate decade it will occur etc. I cannot for the life of me ever understand how they can possibly think they know more than Jesus did when He walked the earth. Amazing.
