“Let him who has ears Hear.” Matthew 13:19
The Destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem
Today on From the Housetops, Brother Matthew reflects on the destruction of Jerusalem and the fulfillment of Our Lord’s prophecy that not one stone of the Temple would remain upon another. Drawing from The Liturgical Year by Abbot Guéranger, he recounts the final departure of the first Christians from the Holy City before its fall in A.D. 70, reflecting on the grandeur of the Temple and its central place in God’s plan.
Brother Matthew explores the profound sorrow of the faithful remnant of Israel as they bade farewell to their homeland, recognizing both the divine judgment foretold by Christ and the dawn of the universal Church. Through vivid reflections on the Temple’s sacred liturgy and its significance for Jews and Gentiles alike, he highlights the transition from the figures of the Old Covenant to their ultimate fulfillment in Christ. Tune in today to revisit the final days of the Temple and the profound lessons they hold for the Catholic soul.
