Sixth Sunday after the Holy Cross, Christ the King.
الأحد السادس بعد الصليب. أحد يسوع الملك
October 26th , 2008
Gospel: Matthew 25: 31 – 46 Readings: Romans 12: 9 – 21
This Gospel concludes Jesus’ life as a Teacher and it is used by the Church to close the Liturgical Year. It is the best learning tool on how to prepare to meet the Lord upon his second coming and the final judgment. This scene is not a parable; it is in fact a prophetic event. Jesus invites us through this event to be ready to answer the final question of the final judgment.
“Did you really love me?” St. John of the Cross notices that we will only be judged by love, which is general and is about good deeds. If we focus on the face of the Son of Man, we notice that he is the subject in this Gospel.
He is the glorified one, surrounded by angels, the King, the Judge, the Shepherd, the Son, and the incarnate in all cases of human kind especially the hardest which is hunger, in prison... what shocks us is the discovery that the subject becomes suddenly the object.
He is not only all the least ones, he is instead the center for gathering and waiting for God’s mercy. Jesus accepted willingly to live humbly.

All Saints, November 1st
This feast which has its beginning in the Christian churches of the fifth and sixth centuries celebrates all those saints, canonized or not, who enjoy the happiness of the kingdom of heaven.
Our relatives and friends, multitudes unknown “which no one can number from all tribes and peoples and tongues,” stand before God’s throne in joyful praise.
They are remembered this day. God’s amazing grace has brought them home. The feast of All Saints turns our eyes to that “great clouds of witness” who are with God yet still with us.
We share in their love and are inspired by their example. They attract us to journey to the kingdom of God.
