Christ, King of All

11-26-2017Weekly Reflection

On this, the final Sunday of the liturgical year, we celebrate the solemnity of Christ the King. By concluding the year with this feast we are proclaiming our faith that Jesus Christ is the one and only king over all seasons, all peoples, and all of creation.

At the end of time as we know it, Christ’s work of restoring all things to unity and harmony with their Creator God will be completed. This Sunday,when we claim Christ as both our Shepherd and our King, we recognize our own calling to participate in Christ’s saving work by caring for thosewhom Jesus calls “the least ones” (Matthew 25:45).
