33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time – Year C (2022)

Filed Under: Feasts Holy Days and Seasons

Sunday, November 13, 2022

The readings for Thirty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time for Year C make us think about the end of the world. In the first reading (Malachi 3:19-20A) we are told that the day of the Lord is coming. The psalm (Psalm 98:5-6, 7-8, 9) assures us that “The Lord comes to rule the earth with justice.” In the second reading (2 Thessalonians 3:7-12) Paul asks that we diligently work for the good of all. In the gospel (Luke 21:5-19) Jesus speaks about the end times and perseverance.

We are asked to persevere and prepare for the physical end of the world and for the end of our own lives. Here are some ideas:

Make a Rosary Slide Bracelet or Key-Chain
A rosary slide bracelet or keychain is a nice craft to remind children and teens to pray. I like making the key-chain which can actually be used for keys for teenagers. Or if they don't need a key chain they can hang it on their backpack or just keep it in their pocket to remind them to pray.
Glow in the Dark Sidewalk Chalk
Glow in the dark sidewalk chalk is a fun addition to an nighttime activity. You can use it to welcome youth to the event, write inspirational messages, or let your participants have a creative outlet.
Pray the Night Prayer from Liturgy of the Hours
The Night Prayer from the Liturgy of the Hours  is a really peaceful way to end my day. Some people feel like the Liturgy of the Hours is too "old fashioned" to use with teens and children, but I feel they can appreciate it.
Fear My Name
But for you who fear my name, there will arise the sun of justice with its healing rays.

The readings for the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord speak of purification and offering. What am I willing to present to God as an offering? What parts of my life do I need to purify?
