SAINTS AND SPECIAL OBSERVANCES
ST. VINCENT DE PAUL
The "Little Church with the Big Heart”
always applies throughout the entire year!
Christ the King:
Today as we celebrate Christ the King, we hear Jesus
say: “….whatever you did for one of the least brothers and sisters of
mine, you did for me.”
Knowing that we find the face of Christ in the poor, this month you
have been so generous in your giving. We were able to serve so many. In
Dec. you will read about the fruits of your giving.
SVDP Memorial Book is in the Rectory.
THE LORD’S FLOCK
Sheep are high-maintenance animals. They are not
very intelligent. Without guidance and care, especially in a
climate like Israel’s, they would die quickly from
predators, starvation, or just their own slowness. The
scriptural image of us as the Lord’s flock is not terribly
flattering to us, since it is only the never-ending diligence
of a watchful shepherd that allows the flock to survive.
The feast of Christ the King was intended to call the
world back to Christ as the sole power of the world, to
bring back a flock that had been scattered by many
negative forces of the growing industrial, scientific, and
war‑torn world of the early twentieth century. It is fitting
that, as we celebrate Christ the King, we hear about Christ
the Shepherd who cares for us and who, likewise, will be
there at the end of time. Interestingly enough, as the
Gospel illustrates, our own destiny is determined by the
way we have been “shepherds” to the rest of the flock.
