FAITH BOOK consists of mini-reflections on the Sunday scripture readings designed for persons on the run. Based on the current "First Impressions," these focused meditations offer suggestions for applying the scriptures to daily life. Faith Book is also brief enough to be posted in the parish bulletins people take home with them from Sunday worship. FAITH BOOK CHRIST THE KING (A) - November 23, 2008 Ez. 34: 11-12, 15-17; Ps. 23; 1 Corinthians 15: 20-26, 28; Matthew 25: 31-46 Mini-reflections on the Sunday scripture readings designed for persons on the run. "Faith Book" is also brief enough to be posted in the Sunday parish bulletins people take home. From today’s Gospel reading: I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me, naked and you clothed me, in prison and you visited me. Reflection: When judgment is passed, it will be based, Jesus tells us, on whether we showed our love for those in need. This love isn’t expressed just in words, but also in concrete actions. We Christians aren’t only a group who share a common belief system, liturgical practices and religious vocabulary. We are also called to express our beliefs through concrete acts that address the needs of those within our physical sight and also the needs of those brought close to us through modern media – television, newspapers, the internet, etc. So we ask ourselves:
