6. VI SAT of Kaitha

Lk 21: 5-6; 20-24: Jesus speaks about the destruction of Jerusalem and its temple. Jews were very much attached to Jerusalem and the temple. They spoke highly about the temple and they spoke often about it. By prophesying the destruction of the temple and Jerusalem which the Jews holds very dear to their heart, Jesus tried to make them understand that they must hold dear what cannot be destroyed i.e. the word of God.
