Fr. Auggie’s Reflection - Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe
EZ 34:11-12, 15-17; PS 23:1-2, 2-3, 5-6; 1 COR 15:20-26, 28; MT 25:31-46
From the Gospel:
“Amen, I say to you, whatever you did
for one of the least brothers of mine, you did for me.”
Reflection
In his encyclical Mystici Corpus, Pope Pius XII exhorts us “to live in
a spirit of lively faith” so as to take to our hearts those who “are the
object of our Savior’s special love: the weak” (93). It is important to
be reminded from time to time that Jesus cares most for those who
are weak (i.e., the poor, the sick, the imprisoned). More so, Jesus
gives them to us. In other words, Jesus Christ the King has given
his most valued treasure for our care and safekeeping. But, we only
recognize the fullness of that gift if we live out our Christian vocation of prayer and service. Next week, we begin again the Holy Season of Advent. One challenge for each of us could be to increase our
commitment to prayer and service as a sign of our renewed faith.
Advent prepares us for the return of Christ. When he returns, may
he find us all alive in the faith, and may he find that we have cared
for the gifts he has given us to cherish.
