FROM THE REC
Sunday, 23 Nov 2014: Our Lord
Jesus Christ, King of the Universe Year A
Gospel
Matthew 25:31-46
A reading from the holy Gospel
according to Matthew
He will take his seat on his throne of glory, and he will separate men one from another.
Jesus said to his disciples: ‘When the Son of Man comes in
his glory, escorted by all the angels, then he will take his seat
on his throne of glory. All the nations will be assembled before him and he will separate men one from another as the
shepherd separates sheep from goats. He will place the sheep
on his right hand and the goats on his left. Then the King
will say to those on his right hand, “Come, you whom my
Father has blessed, take for your heritage the kingdom prepared for you since the foundation of the world. For I was
hungry and you gave me food; I was thirsty and you gave me
drink; I was a stranger and you made me welcome; naked
and you clothed me, sick and you visited me, in prison and
you came to see me.” Then the virtuous will say to him in
reply, “Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you; or
thirsty and give you drink? When did we see you a stranger
and make you welcome; naked and clothe you; sick or in
prison and go to see you?” And the King will answer, “I tell
you solemnly, in so far as you did this to one of the least of
these brothers of mine, you did it to me.” Next he will say to
those on his left hand, “Go away from me, with your curse
upon you, to the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his
angels. For I was hungry and you never gave me food; I was
thirsty and you never gave me anything to drink; I was a
stranger and you never made me welcome, naked and you
never clothed me, sick and in prison and you never visited
me.” Then it will be their turn to ask, “Lord, when did we
see you hungry or thirsty, a stranger or naked, sick or in prison, and did not come to your help?” Then he will answer, “I
tell you solemnly, in so far as you neglected to do this to one
of the least of these, you neglected to do it to me.” And they
will go away to eternal punishment, and the virtuous to eternal life.’
Reflection: This feast is so important. On the last day of the
Church’s year we are challenged by Christ our King to give
our true allegiance to what really matters. Not ambition,
greed, status and power, but the quiet revolutionary work of
making the world a more just and peaceful place for everyone to live.
To the degree that we do this we are co-heirs to the Kingdom
Jesus lived, died and was raised for, and we are witnesses to
the real meaning of Christ’s reign in our lives.
Graduation Mass
On Tuesday evening, 2nd December, we will farewell Year
6 students at their Graduation
Mass. It will be celebrated by
Father Joshy with us at
6.30pm. I pray you will be safe
and happy as you continue on
your life journey into secondary education.

Trials in Dubbo on Tuesday. All competed in the spirit of their
sport and tried their best. Many children made it through to the
possibles and probables.

Team: Ruby Gangemi – Basketball, Thomas Lynch - Cricket

These three students will be heading to Lismore in February to
