Gospel Reflection

/ Carmelite Spirituality, Gospel Reflection / By

Jesus told his disciples a parable.
“Consider the fig tree and all the other trees.
When their buds burst open,
you see for yourselves and know that summer is now near;
in the same way, when you see these things happening,
know that the Kingdom of God is near.
Amen, I say to you, this generation will not pass away
until all these things have taken place.
Heaven and earth will pass away,
but my words will not pass away.”

Luke 21:29-33

Point for Reflection
The Kingdom of God is near. What does this mean for you?
