2 Fast of Christ th King and Advnt: What Dos it Man? CHESAPEAKE, VA (Catholic Onlin) - On Novmbr 23rd w clbrat th Fast of Christ th King. It is on of many opportunitis th Catholic Liturgical Church yar offrs to ach of us considr th cratur which is calld tim, rciv it as a gift and bgin to rally liv diffrntly. Yt, for many Catholics who commmorat th Fast, it is just on mor somwhat sotric clbration which w go through vry yar at this tim. This mistak is at last right on on count, it rally is all about tim. Th Catholic Christian notion of rciving tim as a gift from God is on of th many things which mak us countr-cultural. In fact, th numbr of things which mak us countr-cultural is incrasing as th Wst abandons its foundations in Christndom and mbracs a scularist dlusion. Our actually choosing to liv th Christian yar, in a complling way, can bcom a profoundly important form of missionary activity in an ag which has bcom dludd by th barrnnss of scularism. A robust, vanglically aliv and symbolically rich practic of living liturgically can invit our nighbors to xamin our livs and b drawn to th On who is its sourc - Jsus Christ, th Alpha and th Omga, th Bginning and th End - as th mptinss of a lif without God fails to fulfill th longing in thir own harts. In a particular way, Catholic Christians ar invitd to mark tim by th grat vnts of th Christian faith in a Liturgical calndar. Howvr, lik so much that is containd within th trasury of th Catholic Church; th practic must b undrstood in ordr to b fully rcivd as a gift and actually bgin inform th pattrn of daily livs. First, w must jump into th trasur chst, find th jwls and put thm on! Othrwis, ths practics can bcom maninglss and sm to som to b mpty show or th vstig of a bygon ra. Thy ar nithr! Thy proclaimd th vry maning of lif.

Th Church is an xprt in humanity, according to th insightful words of th Fathrs of th last grat Council of th Church, Vatican II. Sh walks th way of th prson. Th Church, as a mothr and a tachr, invits us to liv th rhythm of th liturgical yar in ordr to hlp us walk into a dpr ncountr with th Lord and bring th whol world with us into th nw world of th Church.

3 What it mans to b Catholic: Havn by Fr. Michal Russo Thr s a story of a littl girl who was skipping along in an airport trminal, wondring to which city sh was travling. Somon askd hr, Young lady whr ar you going? th girl rspondd, I m going to Granma s you s, for that littl girl, sh was not so much going to anothr city or to anothr stat. Sh was going to anothr prson, Jsus, in th Gospl, says, I am going to th Fathr. H is actually spaking of havn. And so this rflction will b a littl catchism on havn. What can you say about it? As a plac, havn is a grat mystry, but it bcoms mor xplainabl if w tak th Attitud of that littl girl. Havn is going to anothr prson, going to our Jsus. Think about it. W liv in an ara whr family runions ar commonplac a tim to at, a tim to laugh, a tim to lov, a tim whn w can simply by ourslvs. And mayb this is bcaus to truly by ourslvs w hav to forgt ourslvs. This is what havn is lik a family runion whr w can simply b ourslvs bcaus w hav forgottn ourslvs, a runion with Jsus and th angls and th saints. Somtims popl ask: would not th absnc of a lovd on from havn mak us sad? And strangly nough, th answr is no, bcaus in havn our happinss is rootd solly in th will of God. So to b attachd to anyon who has chosn to b apart from God would b impossibl for us. And hr s th ky to undrstanding th xistnc of hll. Popl who ar not in havn ar not in havn bcaus thy choos not to b in havn. Thy wr unwilling to lt go of thir sinfulnss, unwilling to chang sinful attituds and ways; thy chos to hid from God. To b xposd to God s lov would b too painful for thm. Thy would hav to chang, so thy hid. You s, God snds no on to hll. It s a choic w mak ourslvs whil w r on arth. Dar frinds, lif is not lost th momnt w di. Lif is lost today, minut by minut, day by day, in all th thousands of small, uncaring ways, in all th thousands of small, uncaring choics. Popl who ar in hll ar usually alrady in it way bfor thy di. Think about it. If w r rfusing now to conform our lifstyls to God s ways and to God s commandmnts, thn why should w suddnly want to chang aftr w r dad? If w ar saying no to God now, w will crtainly say no to God latr. W do not suddnly bcom a diffrnt kind of prson aftr w di. Th lif w hav now is th on w tak with us into trnity. If I m fr to say ys to God, this mans I m fr also to say no to him. This is why thr has to b a hll. It s actually God s lov for us, rspcting our frdom to choos. In th Gospl, Jsus tlls us, I am going to prpar a plac for you. I will com back to tak you with m, that whr I am you also may b. Do you s how bautiful it is? Th most important thing in lif is assurd. If w ar faithful, if w giv it out bst ffort not without failur and human waknss, but if w truly try thn th most important thing in lif is assur. Havn awaits, a grat family runion of laughtr, sharing, loving. Ys, this is what w call havn, going not so much to anothr plac, but going to othr popl, going lik our Jsus to th Fathr.
