Christ the King REFLECTION The young homilist was on a roll. “This parish has really got to get out and walk!” Someone in the back yelled, “Let her walk!” The homilist then said, “If this parish is going to really go, it’s got to get up and run!” The one in the back yelled with gusto, “Let her run!” The preacher then said even louder, “If our parish is going to go, it’s got to really fly!” Again from the back, “Let her fly!” He seized the moment: “If this parish is going to fly, it needs all of you to tithe!” The voice in the back yelled, “Let her walk, let her walk.” Today’s Gospel calls us to love, share, feed, welcome and clothe one another. When we do, we will discover that Jesus is truly present in all of our brothers and sisters. Let your love fly.

It is a kind of waiting that involves activity, preparing, “nesting,” supporting, encouraging and sharing the joy of hope. All that is seen in the Joyful Mysteries.” He will also discuss the Annunciation and the Visitation.
