Christ the Universal King
FIRST READING 23 November
Isaiah2014
43:18-19.21-22.24First Reading
Ezekiel 34:11-12.15-17
The Lord says this: I am going to look after my flock
myself and keep all of it in view. 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. I shall
rescue them from wherever they have been scattered
during the mist and darkness. I myself will pasture my
sheep, I myself will show them where to rest – it is the
Lord who speaks. I shall look for the lost one, bring back
the stray, bandage the wounded and make the weak
strong. I shall watch over the fat and healthy. I shall be a
true shepherd to them. As for you, my sheep, the Lord
says this: I will judge between sheep and sheep, between
rams and he-goats.
R.: The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want.
Second Reading
1Corinthians 15:20-26.28
Christ has been raised from the dead, the first-fruits of all
who have fallen asleep. Death came through one man
and in the same way the resurrection of the dead has
come through one man. Just as all men die in Adam, so
all men will be brought to life in Christ; but all of them in
their proper order: Christ as the first-fruits and then, after
the coming of Christ, those who belong to him. After that
will come the end, when he hands over the kingdom to
God the Father, having done away with every
sovereignty, authority and power. For he must be king
until he has put all his enemies under his feet and the last
of the enemies to be destroyed is death. And when
everything is subjected to him, then the Son himself will
be subject in his turn to the One who subjected all things
to him, so that God may be all in all.
Alleluia, alleluia! Blessings on him who comes in the
name of the Lord! Blessings on the coming kingdom of
our father David! Alleluia!
Gospel
Matthew 25:31-46.
Jesus said to his disciples: ‘When the Son of Man comes
in his glory, escorted by all the angels, then he will take
his seat on his throne of glory. All the nations will be
assembled before him and he will separate men one from
another as the shepherd separates sheep from goats. He
will place the sheep on his right hand and the goats on
his left. Then the King will say to those on his right hand,
“Come, you whom my Father has blessed, take for your
heritage the kingdom prepared for you since the
foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave
me food; I was thirsty and you gave me drink; I was a
stranger and you made me welcome; naked and you
clothed me, sick and you visited me, in prison and you
came to see me.” Then the virtuous will say to him in
reply, “Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you;
or thirsty and give you drink? When did we see you a
stranger and make you welcome; naked and clothe you;
sick or in prison and go to see you?” And the King will
answer, “I tell you solemnly, in so far as you did this to
one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did it to
me.” Next he will say to those on his left hand, “Go away
from me, with your curse upon you, to the eternal fire
prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry
and you never gave me food; I was thirsty and you never
gave me anything to drink; I was a stranger and you
never made me welcome, naked and you never clothed
me, sick and in prison and you never visited me.” Then it
will be their turn to ask, “Lord, when did we see you
hungry or thirsty, a stranger or naked, sick or in prison,
and did not come to your help?” Then he will answer, “I
tell you solemnly, in so far as you neglected to do this to
one of the least of these, you neglected to do it to me.”
, 'How
sinner
produce
signs like
this?' And there
was them.
Andcould
they awill
go away
to eternal
punishment,
and the
virtuous to eternal life.’
