God's Astonishing Reversals Part 2—In a Little While

About this sermon

We know that during the “little while” mentioned by Our Lord, the most important events in the history of the world transpired, namely the Passion, Death and Resurrection of His Majesty, Jesus Christ, Our Lord and King. In that “little while”, nearly the entire Old Testament was fulfilled and passed into the reality of the Christ and His Sacrifice. One of these Old Testament passages was directed at Our Lord’s closest followers: “I will strike the Shepherd and the sheep will scatter.” During that “little while”, the apostles, after openly professing their faith and fortified by the Holy Mass and their ordination to the episcopacy, fell quickly away. Yet, despite everything… despite these failures… Our Lord was completely victorious… in “a little while.” Ah, how important it is to be vigilant in those little whiles so that our sorrows will be changed into joy! Yes…this “little while” of suffering, trial and tribulation is just that … a very little while. Let us be resolved, therefore, to be faithful and true come what may to Our God, to His Holy Mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and His Mystical Body the Church. We will not be sorry for this faithfulness. If we remain faithful, we will defeat all the forces set on bringing down our faith and hurting God's Church; and what is more, we will see them convert and do penance!
