THE ABOMINATION THAT CAUSES DESOLATION
Scriptural Reading: Matthew 24:15-19
Jesus took time to admonish His disciples concerning the end of the age. Many theologians believe that the abomination that causes desolation standing in the holy place refers to the destruction of the temple and Jerusalem, which occurred around 70AD and 130AD respectively. Indeed the destruction of the holy temple and the state of Israel is an abomination that causes desolation but the impact is what we see today. Many people do not know yet that a huge mosque is presently sited on the destroyed temple in Jerusalem; it is also considered as the third holiest place for Muslims. That could be referring to the abomination that causes desolation. A radical group of Jews known as the Zionist Movement who are in solidarity with the US evangelicals are working towards the rebuilding of this temple.
Many believe it will lead to inevitable war but while we watch and pray we should remove from our lives any abominable act as we look forward to the coming of Jesus. Every abominable attitude, lifestyle, appearance and location in our lives should be discarded to avert eternal destruction.

PRAYER TO ST MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL AGAINST THE FORCES BEHIND COVID - 19.
Holy Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebukes him, we humbly pray, and do you, O Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who wander through the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
WE PRAY WITH ST JUDE THE PATRON OF DIFFICULT CASES AGAINST THE SPREAD OF CORONA VIRUS
O most holy apostle, Saint Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the Church honoureth and invoketh thee universally, as the patron of hopeless cases, and things almost despaired of.
Pray for me, who am so miserable. Make use, I implore thee, of that particular privilege accorded to thee, to bring visible and speedy help where help was almost despaired of.
Come to mine assistance in this great need, that I may receive the consolation and succour of Heaven in all my necessities, tribulations, and sufferings, particularly...
(insert your prayer request here, especially the menace of COVID - 19 Pandemic)
...and that I may praise God with thee and all the elect throughout eternity.
I promise thee, O blessed Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favour, to always honour thee as my special and powerful patron, and to gratefully encourage devotion to thee. Amen.
