Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe
FOR THE RIDE HOME
First Reading: Ez 34: 11-12, 15-17
Second Reading: 1 Cor 15:20-26
Gospel: Mt 25: 31-46
Today, on the feast of Christ the King, we read
that a ruler or leader should be like a shepherd.
The leader is to care for all the people and
protect them. And a wise and loving ruler knows
that what is important for the people is equally
important for their leader. In today's gospel, the
ruler is also a judge. At the last judgment, Christ
is pictured as the king who judges the nations.
How does he judge? On the basis of care and
concern for the needy. Did you notice in the
gospel that all the people were surprised at the
king's answer to their questions? How lucky we
are to have Jesus tell us what they did not seem
to know, that when we do for others, we do to
him, and that we will be judged on our works of
mercy and justice.
Take a moment to think about these works
that the gospel mentions. Ask Christ to reign
and rule in your heart and in the whole
world.
Join Us With Mary
When life got overwhelming and too big for us as children,
we turned to our mother for support and guidance. As adults,
we thank her for all she had done for us. Now we are blessed
with the opportunity to turn to our Heavenly Mother Mary to
ask for her support and guidance, and thank her for the many
blessings she has given us. Every Wednesday after 9:00
AM Mass (at 9:30), you are invited to join us as we pray the
rosary to ask for her help and guidance and to thank her for
her abounding love and intercession.
RELIGION & ROCK
"Religion and Rock," a nationally syndicated radio
program with Msgr. Jim Vlaun of the Diocese of

Catholic Campaign for Human Development
This weekend we will take up the Collection for the Catholic

Missions (CCHD). CCHD was founded 40 years ago by the
bishops of the United States when they realized that the lives
of those in need would not improve until the systems and
policies that keep people in poverty were changed. For 40
years, CCHD has funded community groups that seek justice
and create lasting change. Fight poverty in America.
Defend human dignity. Give to the CCHD Collection.
