OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, KING OF THE UNIVERSE 3

May we always keep in mind that this parish exists to give glory to God in all we do and for each one of us to be sanctified in our lives. St. Francis of Assisi, pray for us.

From the Pastor

Today we come to the end of the liturgical year, celebrating the magnificent feast of the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe. Our readings provide contrasting images of this King of ours — He has authority over all, and yet, He is humble and tender in His care for us, especially the most vulnerable. How can we properly honor and love such a King? By offering Him our very lives. The Gospel passage from Matthew shows us how. The passage begins with Christ’s own description of His Second Coming, “When the Son of Man comes in his glory and all the angels with him, he will sit upon his glorious throne, and all the nations will be assembled before him.” Then the moment of judgment will come. Some will be invited into the Kingdom of Heaven — the others to eternal punishment. This judgment will be based not on how influential we became in society, how high we climbed the corporate ladder, nor any “worldly” achievements, in fact. Rather our judgment will be based on how we treated the least of those around us, whom Jesus calls His brothers. “Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of the least brothers of mine, you did for me.” To make His point very clear, Jesus gives specifics — feeding the hungry, giving drink to the thirsty, showing hospitality to the stranger, caring for the ill and imprisoned. The more deeply we embrace this way of life, the more closely our priorities will align with His.

It’s the perfect time to ReDiscover Christmas in a new light. Advent is a time to prepare our hearts to celebrate the coming of the true light of the world, Jesus Christ. But this season isn’t Christmas as usual. We’ve been through what is perhaps the most difficult year we can remember, and we know there are challenges looming ahead. The good news is—Jesus came to earth that first Christmas in one of the darkest times in history...and He’s still the light in our night now!

The season looks different this year, but we want to help you have a blessed Advent as we focus on the themes of Advent: Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love. We will offer a homily series focusing on these themes and show that God is right where we are to help us discover the certainty of His love in uncertain times. The four weeks before Christmas are set aside as a time of expectant waiting and preparation for the celebration of Jesus’ birth. I hope that you will look at all the Advent offerings we’ll have this year and try to take part in ways to prepare for the coming of Christmas.
