A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew:
He will take his seat on his throne of glory, and he will separate men one from another.
Jesus said to his disciples: 'When the Son of Man comes
in his glory, escorted by all the angels, then he will take his
seat on his throne of glory. All the nations will be assembled before him and he will separate men one from another as the shepherd separates sheep from goats. He will
place the sheep on his right hand and the goats on his left.
Then the King will say to those on his right hand, "Come,
you whom my Father has blessed, take for your heritage
the kingdom prepared for you since the foundation of the
world. For I was hungry and you gave me food; I was
thirsty and you gave me drink; I was a stranger and you
made me welcome; naked and you clothed me, sick and
you visited me, in prison and you came to see me." Then
the virtuous will say to him in reply, "Lord, when did we
see you hungry and feed you; or thirsty and give you
drink? When did we see you a stranger and make you
welcome; naked and clothe you; sick or in prison and go to
see you?" And the King will answer, "I tell you solemnly, in
so far as you did this to one of the least of these brothers
of mine, you did it to me." Next he will say to those on his
left hand, "Go away from me, with your curse upon you, to
the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I
was hungry and you never gave me food; I was thirsty and
you never gave me anything to drink; I was a stranger and
you never made me welcome, naked and you never
clothed me, sick and in prison and you never visited me."
Then it will be their turn to ask, "Lord, when did we see
you hungry or thirsty, a stranger or naked, sick or in prison, and did not come to your help?" Then he will answer,
"I tell you solemnly, in so far as you neglected to do this to
one of the least of these, you neglected to do it
to me." And they will go away to eternal punishment, and the virtuous to eternal life.'
The Gospel of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

RECENT DEATH: Joseph Nguyen Van Quang (Bishop Long’s Father)
Christ The King
The Gospel tells us that we have to welcome the stranger, feed the hungry
and visit those in prison. If we do this then we are part of the Kingdom; and
the King will welcome us to his right hand side.
Our cities are crowded yet people are lonely. Sadly many travel on crowded
trains and work in buildings full of people, yet they still feel left out. Jesus told
his disciples and us, we must “reach out” even to people we don’t know and
welcome them as part of our family. We are after all brothers and sisters with one Father.
If we do this then the “Kingdom is here” and Jesus is our king. If we don’t create the
“kingdom “ here who can?
PLEASE NOTE: There will be NO MASS on Tuesday, 25 & Thursday, 27 Nov. at Holy
Family Centre.

everything depends on God.
