Newsletter November 20th 2022 (Feast of Christ the King)

Justice, Love and Peace

The best way to honour Christ our King is to work to develop his project of mercy among us. Whatever we do to help the deprived and underprivileged is also a service to Christ, who identifies himself personally with people in need. Following Christ the King is not the passive option of “keeping myself to myself” or “I do no harm to anyone.” To ignore the needs of our neighbour is to close our ears to Christ. To turn aside from the anguish of the dying is to shut our eyes to him. If we follow Jesus Christ as our Shepherd-king we must in some way be shepherds ourselves, for his sake.
