As the last Suday of the Christia Church Year, Christ the Kig Suday is the climax ad coclusio of the Church s liturgical jourey through the life of Christ ad the Gospel message. Its purpose is to celebrate the comig reig of Christ as Kig of the Earth ad his completio of the reewed creatio that marks the fulless of the Kigdom of God. That hope is bor from the etire life of Christ ad his teachigs that have bee celebrated i the seasos of the Church Year durig the past twelve moths. I celebratig the Reig of Christ the Kig, this Suday also provides a appropriate bridge to the ew Church Year that begis the followig Suday o the first Suday of Advet with a emphasis o hope ad expectatio, the logig for the comig of the Kigdom of God amid the darkess of a siful world (see Advet). As such a bridge betwee the completed year ad the begiig of a ew year, Christ the Kig services ofte use Scripture ad sog to provide both a retrospective ad itroductory overview of the jourey through the life of Christ ad the Gospel message that the Seasos of the Church Year provides. This offers ot oly a opportuity for a worshipful reflectio o the sigificace of the life of Christ, it also presets opportuity to remid people of the meaig of the various seasos of the Church Year. It is the ewest day i the liturgical year across the Wester Church ad first added i 1925 by the Roma Catholic Church i respose to icreasig secularizatio movemets worldwide, but i particular to the plight of Mexica Christias who were beig told by their govermet that oly their govermet was due ultimate allegiace. The Church i Mexico remaied faithful, holdig public parades throughout the lad (with sigificat govermetal pushback!) proclaimig Cristo Rey!, Christ is Kig! Pope Pius XI made that declaratio the basis of a Holy Day to be observed throughout the etire Roma Catholic Church, Christ, The Kig of the Uiverse. After Vatica II, Rome moved the observace of this day from October to the fial Suday of the Christia Year, ad may Protestats, icludig Uited Methodists, who adopted the Revised Commo Lectioary ad its caledar have followed suit. So today our voices come alogside those persecuted for their faith i all times ad places, icludig i Mexico i the early twetieth cetury ad the thousads facig persecutio all over the world this very day, ad with them we all proclaim i may laguages, Christ is Kig! Whe the So of ma comes i His glory, ad all the agels are with Him, the He will sit o His glorious throe. PAGE 3 Matthew 25:31

Miller Whe Goig to Pieces Holds You Together, Fortress Publisher 1969 This special prayer card will be supplied. 70½ IRACharitable Distributio Good ews for taxpayers over the age of 70½. Cogress has voted to make permaet the exclusio from icome of up to $100,000 per perso, per year, for Idividual Retiremet Accout (IRA) distributios which are give directly to charities. This law will ed the ucertaity which has existed for the past several years whe taxpayers were tryig to decide whether to direct their IRA distributios to charity. Cogress geerally did ot get aroud to extedig the expired tax legislatio kow as exteders util very late i the year. Oe year the exteders were ot passed util the Jauary of the subsequet year ad were applied retroactively. Now that you are able to pla for charitable cotributios from IRAs, is this somethig you should be doig? Basic Requiremets Oe of the key beefits of the direct charitable cotributio from your IRA is that the distributio couts towards your Required Miimum Distributio (RMD). You ca cotribute more tha your RMD to charity as log as you do ot exceed $100,000 i a caledar year. The gift ca satisfy a pledge that you have made. However you may ot receive aythig (other tha a itagible religious beefit) from the charity as a quid pro quo for your cotributio.

But we see a importat summary of his perspective. His referece to the Corithias discourse ad kowledge is probably togue-icheek, as he will challege just this itellectual pride a bit later i the letter. The Greek of verse 7 implies the witess of Christ, beig cofirmed amog the Church. This places a slightly differet meaig, as it affirms that Christ s fidelity, His faithfuless to his call by the Father, is cofirmed withi the commuity. The affirmatio that they are ot lackig ay spiritual gift probably is the same as the affirmatio of their kowledge, as we will see i Chapters 12 to 14 of the letter. Fially, the affirmatio of God s fidelity is critical to St. Paul s thought, because it is that fidelity that has produced the very presece of God i history that Isaiah loged for i the first readig. Christ is the expressio of God s partership i history.
