Father, I often suffer from low self-esteem. It isn’t always easy to face a new day when I feel as if others will look down upon me. Father, give me the confidence to hold my head high. Help me to remember that You made me just the way I’m supposed to be. I want to be proud of who I am. Be with me on days when I’m feeling shy or insecure. With Your help, I know I can begin to shed my doubts and fears. Amen.
Luke 21: 5-19
While some people were speaking about
how the temple was adorned with costly stones and votive offerings,
Jesus said, “All that you see here–
the days will come when there will not be left
a stone upon another stone that will not be thrown down.”
Then they asked him,
“Teacher, when will this happen?
And what sign will there be when all these things are about to happen?”
He answered,
“See that you not be deceived,
for many will come in my name, saying,
‘I am he,’ and ‘The time has come.’
Do not follow them!
When you hear of wars and insurrections,
do not be terrified; for such things must happen first,
but it will not immediately be the end.”
Then he said to them,
“Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
There will be powerful earthquakes, famines, and plagues
from place to place;
and awesome sights and mighty signs will come from the sky.
“Before all this happens, however,
they will seize and persecute you,
they will hand you over to the synagogues and to prisons,
and they will have you led before kings and governors
because of my name.
It will lead to your giving testimony.
Remember, you are not to prepare your defense beforehand,
for I myself shall give you a wisdom in speaking
that all your adversaries will be powerless to resist or refute.
You will even be handed over by parents, brothers, relatives, and friends,
and they will put some of you to death.
You will be hated by all because of my name,
but not a hair on your head will be destroyed.
By your perseverance you will secure your lives.”

Audio de la oración diaira leída por el p. Uribe, O.M.I.
Padre, a menudo sufro de baja autoestima. No siempre es fácil afrontar un nuevo día cuando siento que los demás me van a mirar con menosprecio. Padre, dame la confianza para mantener mi cabeza en alto. Ayúdame a recordar que Tú me hiciste tal y como debo ser. Quiero sentirme orgulloso de lo que soy. Acompáñame en los días en que me sienta tímido o inseguro. Con Tu ayuda, sé que puedo empezar a liberarme de mis inseguridades y temores. Amén.
Lc 21, 5-19
En aquel tiempo, como algunos ponderaban la solidez de la construcción del templo y la belleza de las ofrendas votivas que lo adornaban, Jesús dijo: “Días vendrán en que no quedará piedra sobre piedra de todo esto que están admirando; todo será destruido”.
Entonces le preguntaron: “Maestro, ¿cuándo va a ocurrir esto y cuál será la señal de que ya está a punto de suceder?” Él les respondió: “Cuídense de que nadie los engañe, porque muchos vendrán usurpando mi nombre y dirán: ‘Yo soy el Mesías. El tiempo ha llegado’. Pero no les hagan caso. Cuando oigan hablar de guerras y revoluciones, que no los domine el pánico, porque eso tiene que acontecer, pero todavía no es el fin”.
Luego les dijo: “Se levantará una nación contra otra y un reino contra otro. En diferentes lugares habrá grandes terremotos, epidemias y hambre, y aparecerán en el cielo señales prodigiosas y terribles.
Pero antes de todo esto los perseguirán a ustedes y los apresarán; los llevarán a los tribunales y a la cárcel, y los harán comparecer ante reyes y gobernadores, por causa mía. Con esto darán testimonio de mí.
Grábense bien que no tienen que preparar de antemano su defensa, porque yo les daré palabras sabias, a las que no podrá resistir ni contradecir ningún adversario de ustedes.
Los traicionarán hasta sus propios padres, hermanos, parientes y amigos. Matarán a algunos de ustedes y todos los odiarán por causa mía. Sin embargo, no caerá ningún cabello de la cabeza de ustedes. Si se mantienen firmes, conseguirán la vida”.
