33.Sunday year C Lk21,5-19

Each of us in life gets many messages, but it cannot be said for everyone that they are joyous. They are also those that are beaten, killed and a person keeps them in mind.
The report, which was in the Gospel of today, also belongs to the sad news. Jesus gives a picture of the end of the world. He puts him on the image of false prophets, talking about wars, disasters, persecution and trait.
What will be our response to the words of Jesus? Will they scare us or do we not admit to heart? Not one response would be correct. Vice versa! Jesus encourages us to become even more primed and to be more strongly relied on him. The recipe is given to us immediately in the introduction of the gospel, where there is a speech about the temple. He advises us to be primed to him through the temple. Therefore, we think together, how important it is for a Christian temple.
First it is a place of special meeting with God. Each person consists of the soul and body, he needs to meet with God not only the spiritual connection but also the appropriate conditions. This requires a certain place, time and space. We can see this fact already in the Old Testament: when the Israelites waned down the wilderness into the promised land, they had a special tent in which they were elected by God. Later, King Solomon built a gem temple, which again restored after the return of the Babylonian captivity. The need for the temple can also be seen in the New Testament: the first Christians were planted after the houses, where they collectively celebrated the Eucharist. Later upon the award of religious freedom, they began to build temples, not only the gems of the cathedral, but also the tiny village churches. We can see that one needs a home for the soul, where it is freed from the noise of the world and uplifted to God’s love. He needs to have a place where he can always return because he finds the peace of the heart, forgiveness and promise of God’s gifts.
Next, we must realize that the temple is the place of special gratitude – the celebration of the Holy Mass. Let us realize, but what are our holy Mass? Often we come late, without interest, of habit, we are inattentive and distracted. What do we do? When entering the temple we have to be silent and realize what the Holy mass is. Jesus himself is sacrificed for us and gives us his body and blood. We will learn to arouse before every holy one is the intention that we want to survive it carefully, to the religion and to draw the most spiritual fruits that we offer.
Finally, the temple is a place of special enrichment with the Word of God, the sacraments and the Common Prayer. We commit to mistakes often as if we did not believe that Jesus is among us, when we gather together in his name. We endeavor to realize that we all ask about something, and he himself said that where there are two or three gatherings in his name, there is he himself and everyone who begs, gets.
Yes, the temple is the place of meeting with God, the place of gratitude and enrichment with God’s Word, sacrament and prayer. Does it have a meaning for me? I love it? Is it for me the House of God and the place of prayer? If we grow to the temple the right attitude, they will not scare us the words of the end of the world because we believe that he is taking us, with us, and we will not be afraid of the end of the world.
A sure good man had a helper that was a very religious person. Although he had a walk in the church for more than an hour, he didn’t leave one Sunday. Once very heavily rained and he was going to church. Farmer did not understand it and said to him: stay at home to get cold, you can also pray in your room. The help, however, responded as follows: Goodman, the pre-med you prepended me to take from the field all that is dry and throw it on a kick and ignite. Why did you not preach me to burn one stalk? – because it would be a small clout and could quickly turn off. But when she was a big lot, she broke out the mighty fire that based light and heat. So, it is also with my church. When I pray myself in the room, it is such a small clout, but when we all pray together in the church, it is a mighty fire, in which my soul is heated for a whole week. On the next Sunday he came after the assistant reeve and says: Today I go with you.
We at this moment we create one big flame of love for God. Let us be grateful for this moment, let our soul and our body be washed away and to recharge as many forces as possible in the upcoming week. Here we obtain the assurance that the Lord is with us and with its protection we do not have to worry about anything.
