CATECHESIS
Living Liturgy
Space, Time, Condition: Today we join the sacrifices of our life in ministry with Christ’s self-giving and openness to receiving the love of God. We live in this way that our own openness to God and willingness to serve in ministry brings greater unity and peace to the entire world. I share this reflection by Gerald Darring on the kingdom of God as accompaniment for our ongoing ministry journey together.
The Kingdom of God is a space. It exists in every home where parents and children love each other. It exists in every region and country that cares for its weak and vulnerable. It exists in every parish that reaches out to the needy.
The Kingdom of God is a time. It happens whenever someone feeds a hungry per non, or shelters a homeless person, or shows care to a
neglected person. It happens whenever we overturn an unjust law, or correct an injustice, or avert a war. It happens whenever people join in the struggle to overcome poverty, to erase ignorance, to pans on the Faith
The Kingdom of God is in the past in the life and work of Jesus of
Nazareth); it is in the present (in the work of the Church and in the efforts of many others to create a world of goodness and justice); it is in the future (reaching its completion in the age to come).
The Kingdom of God is a condition. Its symptoms are love, justice, and peace. Jesus Christ is king! We pray today that God may free all the world to rejoice in his peace, to glory in his justice, to live in his love (Gerald
Darring. The Perspective of Justice, https://liturgy.slu.edu/ChristKingB112518/reflections_justice.html).
This imagination of the kingdom of God embraces all that this feast day hopes to inspire in our hearts and in our ministry. As we complete this liturgical year, I pray that we have taken time to journey into imagining or reimagining spaces in our various faith communities for rich belonging, courageous believing, and inclusive becoming
PROMPTS FOR FAITH-SHARING
- The gospel reveals that Jesus calls us to compassionate care of the marginalized and vulnerable. What opportunities might you be overlooking in your life to pay homage to Christ the King?
- There is some harshness in the judgments passed by Christ in the gospel; how does this make you feel?
- In relationships where you hold power, how can you enact Christlike justice toward those who are less powerful?
