Tomorrow I will be attending a Memorial Service in Washington, DC for Msgr. William A. Kerr, the man who gave 31 scholarships to my Rwandan students, and on Friday, I will be visitng with four Central alumni in the DC area, so I won't be able to post a Daily Bread refelction until Monday.
Sunday marks the climax of the liturgical year with the Solmenity of Our Lord Jesus Christ the King. We have moved from anticipating the birth of the Savior and the Coming of the Kingdom last Advent, through the birth, death, and resurrection to this final moment when we focus on the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end of all of creation. All things are summed up in Christ who "As priest offered his life on the altar of the cross and redeemed the human race by this one perfect sacrifice of peace. As king he claims dominion over all creation, that he may present to you, his Almighty Father, an eternal and universal kingdom: a kingdom of truth and life, a kingdom of holiness and grace, a kingdom of justice, love, and peace." (Preface of Christ the King). This is a mighty chunk of Good News to digest, to meditate on, to give thanks for, and to evaluate our place, our contribution this past year to the building up of the kingdom.
May it serve as nourishment for our prayer and bear fruit that we can begin to use in the next liturgical year. Bon appetit!
Bro. Rene
