This weekend we celebrate Christ the King---his crown is one of thorns and his throne a cross. The gospel this weekend reminds us of how we are called to live our faith in the world--seeking the hungry, thirsty, naked, sick and imprisoned, bringing them grace and light. In that action of service we find Christ himself. We will be judged by the Lord based on these actions.
