REFLECTIONS
CHRIST, KING OF ALL
On this, the final Sunday of the liturgical year, we celebrate the
solemnity of Christ the King. By concluding the year with this
feast we are proclaiming our faith that Jesus Christ is the one
and only king over all seasons, all peoples, and all of creation.
At the end of time as we know it, Christ’s work of restoring all
things to unity and harmony with their Creator God will be
completed. This Sunday, when we claim Christ as both our
Shepherd and our King, we recognize our own calling to par-
ticipate in Christ’s saving work by caring for those whom Jesus
calls “the least ones” (Matthew 25:45)

REFLEJOS
CRISTO, REY DE TODOS
En este, el último domingo del año litúrgico, celebramos la so-
lemnidad de Cristo Rey. Al concluir el año con esta fiesta pro-
clamamos nuestra fe en que Jesucristo es el solo y único rey
sobre todos los tiempos, todos los pueblos y toda la Creación.
Al final del tiempo que conocemos, quedará completa la obra
de Cristo de restaurar todas la cosas en unidad y armonía con
Dios su Creador. Este domingo, cuando proclamamos que Cris-
to es nuestro Pastor y nuestro Rey, reconocemos nuestro llama-
do a participar en la obra salvadora de Cristo al cuidar de quie-
nes Cristo llama “aquellos más insignificantes” (Mateo 25:45)
