Tomorrow, we begin Great Lent, a gift of God, a time for us to re-examine our priorities: for example, the primacy of healthy, life-enriching relationships within ourselves, with others—both those that love us and those that hate us—and ultimately with God. And we should carry out this examination in joy, peace, patience, kindness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control—all fruits of the spirit as Saint Paul tells us (Galatians 5:22-23).

“Where Christ Dwells”-Sunday of the Last Judgment

The Son of Man comes in glory, yet the story turns our gaze away from the throne. The King identifies Himself not with the powerful or the admired, but with those who live on the edges of life: the hungry, the stranger, the sick, the imprisoned. It is as though Jesus is saying, “If you want to find Me, look where the world is least inclined to look.”

Sunday of the Last Judgment

In the form of a parable, Jesus describes the final judgment of the nations. The Lord appears surrounded by angels and is seated on his royal throne. Before him are all the nations of the world, which he separates as a shepherd separates the sheep and the goats. The king invites those whom he divided on his right to inherit his heavenly kingdom and to those on his left to enter eternal punishment.
