Saturday, October 16, 2021 - Twenty-eighth week of Ordinary Time - The Spirit of truth will bear witness on my behalf, says the Lord. And you too will bear witness - Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 12, 8-12

The Gospel we just read continues on yesterday's theme of the testimony of Christ Jesus. This courageous and confident testimony enables us to face the Last Judgment fearlessly. This judgment is based on our behavior towards Jesus Christ: those who ignored Jesus, that is to say those who refused to recognize him as Lord and the liberating Messiah, find themselves alone, abandoned to their fates before this tribunal. While those who courageously defended him even in persecution will have Jesus as their defender and advocate. The Holy Spirit will also be beside these good Christians to defend them before their accusers.
