    Dear Brothers and Sisters,

    On this last Sunday of the liturgical year we are celebrating the Solemnity of Christ the King. Today's Gospel proposes to us anew part of the dramatic questioning to which Pontius Pilate subjected Jesus when he was handed over to him, accused of usurping the title, "King of the Jews".

    Jesus answered the Roman governor's questions by declaring that he was a king, but not of this world (cf. Jn 18: 36). He did not come to rule over peoples and territories but to set people free from the slavery of sin and to reconcile them with God. And he added: "For this I was born, and for this I have come into the world, to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears my voice" (Jn 18: 37).

    But what is the "truth" that Christ came into the world to witness to? The whole of his life reveals that God is love: so this is the truth to which he witnessed to the full with the sacrifice of his own life on Calvary.

    The Cross is the "throne" where he manifested his sublime kingship as God Love: by offering himself in expiation for the sin of the world, he defeated the "ruler of this world" (Jn 12: 31) and established the Kingdom of God once and for all. It is a Kingdom that will be fully revealed at the end of time, after the destruction of every enemy and last of all, death (cf. I Cor 15: 25-26). The Son will then deliver the Kingdom to the Father and God will finally be "everything to everyone" (I Cor 15: 28).

    The way to reach this goal is long and admits of no short cuts: indeed, every person must freely accept the truth of God's love. He is Love and Truth, and neither Love nor Truth are ever imposed: they come knocking at the doors of the heart and the mind and where they can enter they bring peace and joy. This is how God reigns; this is his project of salvation, a "mystery" in the biblical sense of the word: a plan that is gradually revealed in history.

    The Virgin Mary was associated in a very special way with Christ's kingship. God asked her, a humble young woman of Nazareth, to become Mother of the Messiah and Mary responded to this request with her whole self, joining her unconditional "yes" to that of her Son, Jesus, and making herself obedient with him even in his sacrifice. This is why God exalted her above every other creature and Christ crowned her Queen of Heaven and earth.

    Let us entrust the Church and all humanity to her intercession, so that God's love can reign in all hearts and his design of justice and peace be fulfilled.

Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Posted by Bob Kenward on June 21, 2009

 Prepare for Mass

Raising_Jarius_Daughter005_Christians_UniteJune 28, 2009 – (6/28/2009)

A synagogue official named Jairus fell at Jesus’ feet and earnestly pleaded ‘My little daughter is desperately sick. Do come and lay your hands on her to make her better and save her life.

Wis 1:13-15; 2:23-24
Ps 30:2, 4, 5-6, 11, 12, 13
2 Cor 8:7, 9, 13-15
Mk 5:21-43 or 5:21-24, 35b-43

Jesus went to Jairus’ daughter “do not be afraid; only have faith”. The child is not dead, but asleep.

“Talitha kum”
Little girl, I tell you to get up.

Go get something to eat

Sunday June 28 2009 is the Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time Year B

“Eternal life? What is that?”

A woman was suffering for the longest time from hemorhages. She saw doctors and underwent painful treatments. She heard about Jesus and she came up from the crowd behind him and said to herself “if I can just touch his clothes I will be well again.”

Jesus felt the power coming out of him and asked who touched him.
Jesus said “My daughter your faith has restored you to health; go in peace and be free from your complaint.

FAITH

Jesus is

never TOO LATE

DON’T BE

 

AFRAID Death need not be feared Jesus has done away with death Oh Lord, you have saved me and rescued me. You have raised my soul from the dead.

Remember how generous God is and be the same way to others. After Jesus raised Jairus’ daughter from the dead, he told the people to give her something to eat.

Our Savior Jesus Christ…

…has done away with death and…

…brought us LIFE through HIS GOSPEL.

ETERNAL LIFE IS LIFE ETERNAL

WHICH BY

ETERNAL LIFE MEANS

JUST THAT

LIFE…ETERNAL

Amen

and

AMEN

GOD BLESS YOU
