From Marianne Elwell concerning the cruise next summer:

Re the cruise – if someone is interested in the cruise, or even think they might be interested, they only have to put a deposit of $25.00 per person by 8/26.  They can always cancel (up to a certain point and I will find out what the latest cancel date is), but we need at least 8 cabins booked by then or we lose the group status.

John Cade's great Homily:  MASS 11/26/17 – Last Sunday (34^th) in Ordinary Time

     Feast of Christ the King

Today, on the last Sunday of the liturgical year and the Feast of Christ the King the entire liturgy shouts out that Jesus was like a shepherd with his flock. One of his dreams was that his followers would be like shepherds in how they lived their lives.

When do we see God?  We see God when we see someone being a good shepherd, caring for another. Both Ezekiel and Matthew give down-to-earth examples of what this looks like—like feeding the hungry or caring for the stranger and for the sick, like visiting the imprisoned, the hurting, the outsider.

 

Connie reading.  A first time?  Usually working the camera.

 

For early followers of Jesus expecting an earthly kingdom, it took a while to figure out this new kingdom was not about being on top politically, but a whole new way of living in relationship with others, seeing others as brothers and sisters, worthy of acceptance and love and the sharing of peace.

A little story: Kalliopi, my mother in law treated me to breakfast for my birthday yesterday. As we walked up a ramp to the Original Pancake House, there was a man sitting on a bench. He obviously was in need—clothing, belongings with him, alone—

 

 

 

A first time also, John?  Congratulations.

 

Kalliopi said something to me in Greek and I understood enough to tell she knew he was needy. Inside we could still see him through a window. He removed the coat/robe he was wearing, he had coffee and some food.

As we left we stopped to greet him and ask if he had enough food and he said yes. We asked if he needed financial help and he nodded yes. We gave him some cash and he expressed thanks.

 

 

You, too, Frank, thanks.

 

I could see Kalliopi’s pleasure that we could help him even a little. When I told Lambrini the story, she said that her mother always was quick to give help to anyone she saw as needy. 

Thanksgiving is my favorite American holiday because it celebrates what all major world religions and religious teachers have taught: We are all sisters and brothers, we are all called to be good shepherds, tending to the needs of others, especially the hungry, the alone, the outsiders, the strangers. Next Sunday we will have our own community food drive (with Ken) to help feed the hungry.

 

 

Happy Anniversary, John, to you and Michelle.

 

Ezekiel and Jesus and the author of Psalm 23 all show us the way of God. They call us to treat the needy as a good shepherd would treat the needy of his flock. In the new kingdom there is forgiveness and peace and acceptance and love.

In this last Sunday of the liturgical year we remember again that a good king, a good shepherd, is “gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in kindness.” This is the life we are called to live.

Question for today: How are you shepherded in your life, and by whom? And whom do you shepherd?
