So my dear friends in Christ, let us resolve today to be good samaritans to our brothers and sisters who are down and experiencing difficult situations in life by truly living out the corporal works of mercy and the spiritual works of mercy, because what you did to your neighbor or one of God’s little ones, you did to God and He will not forget it when your hour of judgment comes.
My dear brothers and sisters, today’s Solemnity is a wake up call for us to acknowledge the kingship of Christ, show our loyalty to Him, establish His kingdom in our world, actively participate in it, proclaim it, promote it and expand it through our lives and our apostolate. So let us renew our relationship with Him by loving Him, the King of Kings, through our love for our neighbors in our practice of the corporal works of mercy.
My brothers and sisters in Christ, it is time to stay away from and give up everything that keeps us from loving God, listening to His word, accepting His word, following Him and living out His commandments. So let us detach ourselves from earthly attachments and keep Jesus’s teaching in today’s gospel reading in mind.
