Reflections: Solemnity of Christ the King

good_shepherd_small.jpgThe Feast of Christ the King is my "personal favorite" Mass of the entire Church year.

I love the focus on Christ as King at the end of time (note that it's also the end of the Church year... next week we start a New Year with the first week of Advent, preparing for Christ's coming at Christmas.)

This weekend's readings this year
(Year A in the three-year cycle of A, B, C) are my favorite of the three.

So this weekend is an extra special treat for me!

The readings for this year in Year A are all about Christ the good shepherd who is also the King. It's a fantastic contrast, and a reminder of the depth and breadth of who God is - who Christ is.

The Lord is indeed my shepherd - he provides for me; he picks me up and shows me the way when I'm weak or lost.  He's also my King and judge.
