2 The Word of the Lord Stands Forever CHRIST, KING OF ALL On this, the final Sunday of the liturgical year, we celebrate the solemnity of Christ the King. By concluding the year with this feast we are proclaiming our faith that Jesus Christ is the one and only king over all seasons, all peoples, and all of crea on. At the end of me as we know it, Christ s work of restoring all things to unity and harmony with their Creator God will be completed. This Sunday, when we claim Christ as both our Shepherd and our King, we recognize our own calling to par cipate in Christ s saving work by caring for those whom Jesus calls the least ones (Ma hew 25:45).

As a young man who was greatly tormented by tempta ons of the flesh, he sought the advice of a religious woman who had lived a hermit s life for years. He saw in her answer a call to leave the world. A er many years of seclusion and prayer, he traveled to Gaul with 12 companion missionaries. They won wide respect for the rigor of their discipline, their preaching, and their commitment to charity and religious life in a me characterized by clerical laxity and civil strife. Columban established several monasteries in Europe which became centers of religion and culture. Like all saints, he met opposi on. Ul mately Columban was deported back to Ireland. His ship ran aground in a storm, and he con nued his work in Europe, ul mately arriving in Italy, where he found favor with the king of the Lombards. In his last years he established the famous monastery of Bobbio, where he died. Saint Columban is the patron saint of motorcyclist. h ps://
