J. Stinelli, Peter JESUS CHRIST, OUR KING The followers of Jesus hold by faith that He is the Messiah, the Christ. By his resurrection from the dead, his Apostles and disciples - all devout Jews - came to believe and profess that He is the One promised from all ages and for all ages. In fulfillment of their mission to take Him, the Good News, to the entire world, they preached and gave their lives. They received the Holy Spirit in a most memorable way ten days after Jesus the Christ left them and ascended into heaven. This is the Spirit that Jesus promised He would send upon his Church. This is the Holy Spirit that inspires and prompts us to acknowledge Jesus as the Christ. This is the Holy Spirit that inspires and prompts His Church to proclaim Him Universal King. The Church lives the once and for all act of redemption on a daily basis. All that Jesus said and did comes to a climax on Calvary. For those without the gift of faith, that is the end of it. The Resurrection, however, made all the difference in the world, made all the difference for the world. We name the mystery of the third day Easter. We celebrate the Eucharistic representation of Easter every day of the year, save Good Friday and Holy Saturday. But we use the oh so human custom of marking the movement of the earth around the sun. We count the days, weeks and months that equal a year, and we mark our maturing by this measure. We transcend the seasons, or rather we baptize the seasons with the specific remembering of the phases of Jesus This Sunday marks the final Sunday of Ordinary Time and, of course, we focus upon Jesus Second Coming in Glory. The image of the Universal King helps us capture the promise of salvation available for all of us. When the Son of Man comes in his gloryŽ Jesus told his disciples, he will sit upon his glorious throne, and all the nations will be assembled before him.Ž We dare not miss the practical expectation Jesus has for all, Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of the least brethren of mine, you did to me.Ž St. Bede Catholic Church 509 South Dallas Avenue ~ Pittsburgh, PA 15208 Reverend William Okot, A.J.
