CHRIST THE KING
The Gospel this weekend encourages us to see Jesus in all those that suffer. What would our parishes, our cities, etc. be like, “if we allowed those most in need to determine our words and our actions,” asks one of the commentators in our Sunday Missal (Living with Christ). An interesting question in deed, and one we should all probably think about.
Jesus tell us this Sunday to see him in all those that suffer: “Just as you did it to one of the least of these, you did it to Me.” We have so many interesting portraits-paintings of Jesus, but it is hard to find him portrayed as sick, imprisioned, homeless, and hungry. Yet, when he comes in Glory, he will invite us into His eternal Home because we helped him in our brothers and sisters who suffer. We need more images of Jesus that depict human suffering. I’m sure such images would help us recognize and reach out in love and compassion.
