Citing of the Week
"Extensive exposure to something new—hearing it, saying it, thinking it, trying it out—is absolutely required in order to expand one’s horizon."

SOLEMNITY OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST THE KING
The least shall lead
The Feast of Christ the King reminds us that leadership rests in Jesus’ example of serving, calling us to be in solidarity with and care for the most vulnerable. In a 1999 address Pope John Paul II said: “There are many criteria for assessing the health of a particular society . . . . Yet the prime criterion is how that society treats those who are the weakest and most vulnerable, and ultimately it is on this basis that society will be judged.” How would you rate our society in terms of its treatment of the weak and vulnerable? What are you doing to ensure the care and comfort the gospel demands?
TODAY’S READINGS: Ezekiel 34:11-12, 15-17; 1 Corinthians 15:20-26, 28; Matthew 25:31-46 (160)
“I myself will give them rest, says the Lord God.”
