Study, Pray, Serve: Christ the King
Here are some of the themes that surface in the Mass readings for the Feast of Christ the King.
1st Reading – Ezekiel 34:11-12,15-17
- God will shepherd the people: tending, seeking, rescuing, healing, protecting.
- God will also judge and separate the sheep rightly, between rams and goats.
Psalm – 23:1-3,5-6
- “The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want.”
- God leads and refreshes, prepares and anoints, so that goodness and kindness will follow us.
2nd Reading – 1st Corinthians 15:20-26,28
- Through one man (Adam) death entered the world; through one man (Christ) all shall be brought to life.
- At the end, Christ will judge all creation, and the last enemy will be death.
- The Son will then be subjected to God, who will be all in all.
Gospel – Matthew 25:31-46
- When the Son of Man comes in glory with all the angels, he will judge all the nations, and he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates sheep and goats.
- Our response to the hungry, thirsty, stranger, naked, ill, and imprisoned will be treated as if it were done to Christ himself – the accursed to eternal punishment and the righteous to eternal life.

In this comedy of errors, Saul goes looking for lost donkeys and ends up being anointed king. (And you think politics is crazy today?) And yet in the midst of the messy we find God at work, leading and directing us on a path that leads to hope.

Jesus Christ: Our King who offers his life for his kingdom. Catholic Inspiration
We claim Jesus Christ as King of the Universe, and this title establishes his reign over our hearts. Yet this king does not come to be served; rather he offers his life that all the inhabitants of his kingdom might have the hope of eternal life. Our response? Let us pledge our lives to our King!
