The Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ the King (Thirty-Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time), Cycle A

Sunday, November 26, 2023

Matthew 25:31-46
Jesus teaches that when the Son of Man comes in glory, he will judge the nations, separating the sheep from the goats.

This Sunday, the Church Liturgical calendar celebrate the feast of Christ the King. The feast of Christ the King teaches us that Jesus rules with a very different kind of power. Jesus tells us the story of the final judgment to show us what kind of a king he is. He is not a king interested in power and glory but in serving the needs of others. The Church calls the actions that Jesus described in Sunday’s Gospel the Corporal Works of Mercy. These works are to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, to bury the dead, to shelter the homeless, to visit the sick and imprisoned, and to give alms to the poor. In these actions we show God’s compassion and mercy to those in need. As a family think of examples of how your family might do these actions in the community.
