criteria for separating people are based on what they did during
the course of their lives.
Those who quietly got on with Kingdom living - feeding those who were
hungry, clothing those who were naked - visiting those who were sick or
in prison - these people were taken to one side and told that, in fact, they
had been doing those things to Jesus Himself. This came as news to
them!
Equally, those who had not done those things were told that when they
had refused to do those things, they had been neglecting to do it to Him.
This came as a surprise to them too!
The fact Jesus was pointing out to them was a fundamental rule of Kingdom living. We are the Body of Christ - and so, deeply united in the life,
death and resurrection of Jesus. What we do - one for another - heals and
builds up the Body of Christ. What we do not do - one for another weakens and diminishes it.
Jesus is a king who does not lord it over His people but invites them into
the fullness of life that is His Life. Those who already live with that sense
of mutual dependence will find this natural and delightful. Others, who
see themselves as entirely laws unto themselves, would find this intolerable.
The choice is ours - Christ accepts it - to be Kingdom people - or to prefer
to live outside it.

A SERVICE OF REMEMBRANCE & HOPE
Monday 1st December 2014 7pm

For many, this Christmas will bring sadness,
because of the absence of one with whom they expected to share this

Prayer For Rain
Almighty and everlasting God, you have given us this
earth to care for and delight in. Look with
mercy on our need for rain for our parched land. We
pray that life-giving rain will soon fall. We pray for
those suffering from the severity of this drought—
people working on the land, and those in business
who depend on farming and grazing for their livelihoods. Father, help them to know your love and care,
and to bring their burdens to you.
Guide all those who are seeking to provide help and
REFLECTION
Over the past few weeks, the Gospel texts have dealt with
issues of being prepared, staying ready, using our gifts well.
In some ways, all of these themes culminate in today’s text.
This Gospel presents us with the bottom line! Are we judged
worthy of a place in the kingdom? The criteria for being
judged worthy are very clear—it is how we have served
those most in need. This is what will count. If we do not see
Christ in our brothers and sisters in need, then our faith is
blind and will not lead to the kingdom. There is another
aspect of this Gospel that should not be overlooked. It is the
apocalyptic vision of the Son of Man coming in glory and
reigning over all the nations as King. To the King, belongs
the right of judgement and reward or punishment. While
Matthew’s community was in the ‘in-between’ time, the
evangelist held before them the central truth that the Son of
Man, the King, will come again in his glory, as judge.
 What is your response to those in need?
 How do you practice your faith in practical ways?
bring healing in the midst of so much pain. We ask
these things through Jesus Christ Our Lord.
Amen.

You, my flock, I judge between sheep and sheep.
Responsorial Psalm

Second Reading

that God may be all in all.
Gospel Acclamation

will separate men one from another.
