Hello Parish Family,
This weekend we will come to the end of our liturgical year as we celebrate the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe! We honor Jesus as our King and Ruler of all creation. In our Gospel reading this Sunday, St. Luke presents the kingship of Jesus at the moment of his crucifixion. As the rulers of the people and soldiers around him sneer and taunt Jesus on the cross, trying to put him to the test to see whether he has the power to save himself from death, Jesus from the throne of the cross makes visible his ultimate power and love for us. He opens the door for us to eternal life! For now, we are called to follow his law of love. In the Church we come as close as we can to the Kingdom of God. So, as the Psalmist proclaims, "Let us go rejoicing to the house of the Lord."
Peace be with you!
