Christ the King – Solemnity
First reading – Ezekiel 34:11-12,15-17
“As a shepherd keeps all his flock in view when he stands up in the middle of his scattered sheep, so shall I keep my sheep in view”. Today we are celebrating the Feast of Christ the King. Christ the King who is a shepherd. The reading is very descriptive. Christ the King is not a king who reigns, but Christ the King is a shepherd who takes care of the sheep. Each sheep is important for this shepherd. He wants each sheep to be in His sight. He saves them from mist and darkness. He pastures himself the sheep. He is not outsourcing the work. He is taking care of the sheep personally. When one sheep is lost, He looks for it, and brings it back. Our King is a true shepherd. For us it’s important to recognize Jesus Christ as our Shepherd. Let’s reflect: How much do I surrender to Jesus, my King-Shepherd?
