Malachi 3:19-2oa / z Thessalonians 3:7-12 / Luke zr:5-:.9

Jesus seems to have a thing about hair. ln Luke tz, he claims that every hair on our heads is counted. For some people, that's a lot of counting' And in today's Gospel, Jesus promises that not a hair on the head of the faithful will be destroyed. This detailed knowledge of something so personal suggests a very intimate relationship between Jesus and us-at least from Jesus' end. lt's apparent that Jesus knows us

very, very well.

And while we worry about invasions of our privacy by family, neighbors, or the government, Jesus indicates in the Gospel that our intimate relationship with God benefits us immensely-if we partake in the intimacy' Every year, as the Church year draws to a close, Jesus speaks about the end times.

His words can be quite startling. But Jesus instructs his followers not to fear. What we often miss in these end-times readings is the hope. Jesus speaks about how he'll be with us through any trials or tribulations; he'll protect us down to the hairs on our heads. The first reading from Malachi speaks of the "sun of justice," which will "arise with healing in its wings."

Healing. protection. Salvation. This is what God seeks for his faithful people at the end of the world.

And all God asks in return is for us to be those faith-ful people-to embrace the

As we wind down another Church year and look toward Advent, how deeply have we come to know Jesus this year? How can we better nurture that relationship in the next year so we can be ready for God's salvation when it appears?

We would like to welcome Father Valentine Joseph who is serving as a Missionary to the United States at St. Patrick Churc,h in Wisconsin. He is here this weekend to ask for your participation in the Missions in lndia and you don't have to go anywhere. Many of us have heard in the news of the persecutions that Christians face in India and the challenges they face as

disciples of Jesus Christ.

Father comes to us from the Archdiocese of Madurai. They face challenges of many kinds: poverty, faith formation and sending out of the lay people, formation of priests and religious and the discrimination of Christians as the lowest in the cast system. We thank him allowing us to be a part of his ministry and the Mission of Christ and his Church.
