Little by little, we are approaching the end of the liturgical year and the calendar year 2023. It has been a year in which we can understand, or at least give examples, of what this verse expresses: “Not one stone will be left upon another.” A lot of things have fallen to the ground, each of us could name at least one. Jesus wants to focus our attention on what cannot be destroyed by a cyclone or a virus, that is, our relationship with him. This year has been a time to exercise patience and hope, to stand firm in our deepest convictions, and to stay afloat, even in the midst of adversity. Jesus wants us in these times to be prophets of hope and to confront with our word and testimony those who want to distort his message of love. He asks us to contribute, from what we are and what we have, to the construction of a more humane world that watches over the common good.
