  • How Else Is Christ A King? (Christ the King Sunday)
    How else is Christ a king? The first reading contains an allegorical reference to the divine shepherding: “You shall shepherd my people Israel” (2 Sam. 5:2). The crown of Jesus the king, even as copies the human display of powers and rights of lesser kings, symbolizes how much the King…

  • Persistence (29th Sunday in Ordinary Time)
    We are exhorted by Paul in the second reading to be faithful. Jesus also ends his parable asking whether faith can be found on earth. Knowing that God readily answers our pleas with justice, is there room for us to doubt? Can we indulge in our unbelief? While the Lord…
