Christ the King - Last Sunday of the Year – 22nd November 2009
...Fr. Johnny Doherty, C.Ss.R.
 

Jesus said to Pilate: 'All who are on the side of truth listen to my voice'. We celebrate Christ as King, not in the sense of the world around us, which would look to power and strength, but as the one who has the true power of truth. In him we know God as one who loves us so much that he has given us his only Son to bring us to a knowledge of his love. In Christ we also come to know the deepest truths about ourselves - that every human person is made in the image of God; that each of us is a dwelling place of God's Holy Spirit; that we are destined for eternal life; that the only way to live human life fully is to love God with our whole hearts and to love our neighbour as ourselves. It has been said that Christianity has not so much failed, as it has never been tried!



Living the Sunday Liturgy

Theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven

PRAYER FOCUS

That all men and women will acclaim Jesus as Lord.
What difference would there be in our world if all people acclaimed Jesus as Lord?

Think of some group that is working for the homeless and destitute.
How can you help that group this week?


Questions for Action for the week.

For your marriage: Looking back over the past year take time to ask forgiveness for patterns of behaviour that may have caused loneliness to each other. How can you bring hope to each other this week?

For others: Think of some group that is working for the homeless and destitute. How can you help that group this week?

Our Lord Jesus Christ, Universal King

First Reading Daniel 7: 13-14
The prophet Daniel foresees the coming of one who will have dominion over all peoples.
Christians see this as a reference to Christ, the Universal King.

Second Reading Apocalypse 1: 5-8
Christ will take full possession of his Kingdom only at the end of time.

Gospel John 18: 33-37
Jesus declares before Pilate that he is indeed a King,
but that his Kingdom is not like the kingdoms of this world.
