2 Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe November 25, 2018 SOLEMNITY OF CHRIST THE KING Christ is King because of who he is and what he did. Dear Friends, Today is the Last Sunday in Ordinary Time. The official name for this Sunday is the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ the King of the Universe. The Church gives us an image of Christ as King. It is a powerful and majestic image indeed. We honour Jesus as a King Whose Kingdom is eternal in time, universal in scope, and very personal in its power. We are reminded, however, that Jesus is very different from earthly kings and potentates. Jesus did not have a sceptre but he did have a towel. He did not have people bowing to him, but choose to bow and wash their feet. He had no army but he did have disciples. He did not sit on a majestic stallion but rather on a donkey's back. His crown was not made of gold but fashioned from thorns. His thrown was a cross. He did not take life, He gave life. He did not reject people as being unworthy but included prostitutes, tax collectors, foreigners, and sinners at his table. He did not exploit folks but responded with sympathy to the widow, lepers, the poor and the forgotten. He did not force but gently invited people to follow Him. His invitation to us is always open. Our Parish Pastor Council met Tuesday evening. Our PPC continues to assess our Pastoral Plan. Our primary focus for the next few years will be evangelization. The Diocese of London has developed six goals through which to work. Our PPC has assigned relevant objectives to each of these six goals. May we open our hearts to the Spirit and be prepared to take up the work of the New Evangelization with boldness and courage. Ready or not, next weekend begins our Advent Journey toward Christmas. I pray that our Advent Journey be blessed with eager anticipation as we prepare for Jesus' coming in Bethlehem, and His final coming at the end of time. &J First Reconciliation Class Wed. Nov. 28th 7:00p.m. St. John Vianney Church Madonna House is offering Advent with the Saints... we wi II meet on Monday evenings starting at 6 PM with a hearty bowl of soup and homemade bread.
