34th Sunday - The Solemnity of Christ the King

Short Reflection on the Solemnity of Christ the King (A)

Readings: Ezekiel 14: 11-12; 15-17; 1 Corinthians 15: 20-26; Matthew 25: 31-46

Gospel Passage: “Lord, when did we see you hungry and fee you, or thirsty and give you drink? And when did we see you stranger and welcome you or naked and clothe you? And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you? And the king will say to them in reply, 'Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.'” (Matthew 25: 37-40)

Meditation: In the end, the real test of discipleship is ‘believing and attending to the needs of the people in need, that is, caring for and ministering to people, especially the least of our brothers and sisters. The real fellowship at the table of the Lord is when we are able to break bread with the poor. The true image of Christ the King is NOT Jesus with Crown and scepter and sitting on his throne! That is the Constantinian King! The true image of Christ the King is Jesus with a crown of thorns before Pilate or Jesus Crucified with INRI label – the sentence for his claim!www.badaliyya.blogspot.com
