Destruction, Healing, Hope and Gratitude

Jesus and his disciples have come into Jerusalem for the Passover Festival, and the disciples are in awe of the Temple Structure and Complex.  As they are looking around, Jesus gives a prediction and prophecy concerning the destruction of the Temple and Jerusalem.  In the life of Saint Christopher's Parish, we are living on the other side of a traumatic event that occurred 35 years ago.  How can we take hope, and how can we be stewards, and how can we express gratitude to God and the Lamb as we live on this side of our own Temple Destruction.  Father Blackburn is the preacher and the text is Mark 13:1-8.
