Desr friends in Christ,
Today we celebrate the last Sunday of the liturgical year. Next Sunday is the First Sunday of Advent and so we begin a new year by preparing once again for the great feast of the Incarnation: the feast of Christmas. We dedicate this Sunday to Christ the King.
In the first reading, the prophet Ezekiel tells us that God himself would seek out his lost sheep and take them home to Himself.
In today’s Second Reading St Paul encourages us to look ahead to the final goal of our life and reminds us that we are made by love and for love and that it is God’s will that everyone enjoy full communion in love with him and so with each other and the whole of the created universe.
The Gospel focuses on the coming of the Son of Man, the Messiah-King, Christ the King, our judge who sits ‘on the throne of his glory’ to judge us, based on how we have shared our love and blessings with others through genuine acts of charity in our lives.Jesus is present to us now, not only as our Good Shepherd, leading, feeding, and healing his sheep, but also as dwelling in those for whom we care.
Today, the Church is inviting us to recall the powerful presence of Jesus’ love in our world, to open our hearts to this love and our mission as a Church is to do all we can to ensure the reign of Jesus’ love. We are invited to look back over the past year and to recall the ways in which we have strayed and felt lost but have experienced the guiding hand and the love of God leading us into ever closer communion with him.
