Luke 21,12-19

Luke 21 12-19

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 21,12-19

Jesus said to the crowd: “They will seize and persecute you, they will hand you over to the synagogues and to prisons, and they will have you led before kings and governors because of my name.
It will lead to your giving testimony.
Remember, you are not to prepare your defense beforehand,
for I myself shall give you a wisdom in speaking that all your adversaries will be powerless to resist or refute.
You will even be handed over by parents, brothers, relatives, and friends, and they will put some of you to death.
You will be hated by all because of my name,
but not a hair on your head will be destroyed.
By your perseverance you will secure your lives.”

Bearing witness


1) They will persecute you: I believe we are clear about this: that being a Christian implies struggle; facing moments of ridicule, when others want to make a fool of you. They may not lead you before kings and rulers, but they may label you, or even ridicule you on facebook or Instagram. Today, living in Christ may lead you to situations in which those closest to you question you. Do not fear… because God is with you.

2) Wisdom: It is important that you do not neglect your interior relationship with Jesus. It is from there that you forge that wisdom in your life that allows you to find the answer to difficulties. This wisdom will help you face your problems with the right attitude. It is in prayer where your soul is strengthened and matured, so don’t falter in this relationship; when faced with hard times, keep on praying!

3) Constancy: Remember that Christianity is an experience from day to day, fight by fight. By following Christ we learn day by day. Do not get sad, or lose heart, because God is by your side and the community is also with you. Do not throw in the towel too soon; this battle must be won! Don’t give up because you already know the end of this movie… Resurrection.
God-bless you in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Remember, heaven is our goal.
