Many Americans are fascinated with England’s monarchy. For many different reasons, we are drawn to the regal pageantry and all of the protocols associated with royal lifestyles. What’s most amazing is that for all of the media attention focused on the comings and goings of English royalty, they really have very little effect on the day to day dealings of their country. Thoughts and images of kings and queens are often centered on this story book understanding of who and what they are. We associate protocols, etiquette, and proper words and actions to how we approach members of a royal family. These tools serve the nec-essary purpose of keeping them isolated, enthroned, and at a distance. There is something attractive about being an observer of ritual, pomp, and circumstance. It’s almost theatrical.

Is this how we see Jesus Christ, too? We often behave as if Christ is an isolated, enthroned, royal, and even ineffective king. Jesus wants nothing to do with having the status of an earthly king. Jesus also does not want to be watched, observed, or set apart. He wants to get down and dirty with the very stuff of life especially the poor, marginalized, confused, hurting, lost, bro-ken, imprisoned, and forgotten ones. Jesus is the king who turns the tables on us and wants not only our attention but our engage-ment and conversion. He wants us to get dirty too.

How we treat other people is at the heart of Christ’s kingdom. “Whatever you did for one of the least brothers of mine, you did for me.” At different times in our lives we are all counted among the “least” ones. We may not be physically poor, but we can easily become emotionally and spiritually poor. We may not be marginalized as many physically are, cast aside because they have too many needs or don’t quite fit in. But who hasn’t experi-enced isolation, loneliness, inner turmoil, angst, heartache, or loss? Almost every human being has experienced brokenness at one point or another, or will most definitely at some future point, facing discouragement, fear, insecurity. People are thirsty for more than water. We are imprisoned by our prejudices, miscon-ceived notions and ideas, self-focused obsessions and ideologies. There is a lot of pain and many least ones around us. Stop, look and listen. This is what Christ the King is asking us to do. Look deeply into the eyes and soul of your sisters and brothers, all of them, and see Christ himself.

Being a spectator and observing all of the pageantry isn’t enough. Jesus wants us to inherit the kingdom and live the king-dom. It is built on the blocks of love, mercy, compassion, hope, faith, and blessing. It engages those who want it, changes and informs minds, inspires and transforms hearts, converts and re-news souls, and sets things right. There is such a great need around us. Are you ready and willing to do whatever you can To serve in God’s kingdom?

Estamos al final del año litúrgico y la solem-nidad de Jesucristo Rey del Universo nos ayuda a resumir en un solo domingo todo lo que viviremos en comunidad a lo largo del año. No sabemos qué nos espera por la situa-ción que estamos viviendo de incertidumbre y miedo. Pero, de algo sí debemos estar segu-ros. ¡Jesucristo Rey del Universo no nos abandona y está presente entre nosotros! Esta fiesta la proclamó el Papa Pío XI, al finalizar el año santo en 1925. Aunque su origen es muy lejano, se remonta al mismo Cristo, quien, a la pregunta de Pilato de si era rey, le responde. “Tú lo has dicho: yo soy Rey”. (Juan 18:37).

Ahora, las palabras del Evangelio son como un bálsamo a la situación que viven las fami-lias en la actualidad. La invitación es la si-guiente. “Vengan, benditos de mi Padre, y to-men posesión del reino que ha sido preparado para ustedes desde el principio del mundo”. (Mateo 25:34). También el Profeta Ezequiel, nos recuerda que Dios siempre está al pen-diente de nosotros. “¡Aquí estoy, soy yo! Vengo en busca de las ovejas, yo me ocuparé de ellas”. (Ezequiel 34:11). El juicio final es un horizonte para vivir como una sociedad que sabe lo que es el Reino de Dios entre no-sotros. ¿Dónde ayudamos? ¿Cómo nos apo-yamos entre nosotros? ¿Dónde donamos algo de lo que tenemos? ¿Visitamos los enfermos, los presos? Hoy, se clarifica quienes son los que heredan este Reino. Los misericordiosos, los que hacen justicia al oprimido, los que trabajan por la paz. ¿Somos conscientes de esto?

Parents fulfill at least in part, the demands of the Gos-pel when they provide food and clothing for their chil-dren who without exception, come into this world na-ked and hungry. Mothers stay up at night to soothe and comfort sick children. Daughters, sons and grandchildren make it a priority to visit their elderly parents who are “imprisoned” in nursing homes during this pandemic. I wonder how many parents will visit over the holi-days with their adult sons and daughters who are im-prisoned in another way; enslaved by false ideas of freedom or by alcohol or drugs? Our Lord sees it all. While it is necessary to offer solace and comfort to the poor and those who have no one to care for them, it is our first responsibility to love those nearest us each day. When we are faithful to love those God has entrusted to us, we can be confident that he sees and will re-member. But if we withdraw into the cocoon of our own self-ishness and comfort, the money we toss into the Saint Vincent de Paul collection and our saying, “Lord, Lord,” . . . it just won’t be enough. We have countless opportunities to choose love each day. May God help us to say “yes” to our Good Shep-herd every moment of every day.

Los padres cumplen, al menos en parte, las exigencias del Evangelio cuando proveen alimento y ropa a sus hijos que, sin excepción, llegan a este mundo desnudos y hambrientos. Las madres se quedan despiertas por la noche para tranquilizar y consolar a los niños enfermos. Las hijas, hijos y nietos tienen como prioridad visitar a sus padres ancianos que están “encarcelados” en los asilos de ancianos durante esta pandemia. Me pregunto cuántos padres visitarán durante las vacaciones a sus hijos e hijas adultos que están encarcelados de otra manera; ¿esclavizados por falsas ideas de libertad o por el alcohol o las drogas? Nuestro Señor lo ve todo. Si bien es necesario ofrecer consuelo y alivio a los pobres y a quienes no tienen a nadie que los cuide, es nuestra primera responsabilidad amar cada día a los que están más cerca de nosotros. Cuando somos fieles en amar a aquellos que Dios nos ha confiado, podemos estar seguros de que Él lo ve y lo recordará. Pero si nos retiramos al capullo de nuestro propio egoísmo y comodidad, el dinero que ponemos en la colecta de San Vicente de Paúl y el decir: “Señor, Señor”. . . simplemente no será suficiente. Tenemos innumerables oportunidades para elegir el

amor cada día. Que Dios nos ayude a decir “sí” a

nuestro Buen Pastor en cada momento de cada día.
