TRUE STEWARDSHIP The gospel message proclaimed throughout the New Testament invites us to live in harmony with the world. This is a challenge to care for the world and be stewards of all that God has given us. Like generations before us, we are entrusted with the care of the earth so that generations to follow may enjoy the same gifts. Sometimes, however, we are absorbed into the ways of the world. When we are of the world, we rely heavily on the power of wealth, beauty, fame, and accumulation of material possessions. We want earthly possessions and carelessly turn our hearts from the responsibilities of stewardship and conservation. The readings today challenge us to walk away from the world so that we might inherit our share of God’s kingdom. How we live our lives directly reflects our love for God. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. FAMILY CONNECTION Understanding today's feast of Christ the King may be particularly challenging. While most of us do not have direct experience with kings or royalty, we have a sense of who they are. We know that royalty have sovereignty over their kingdoms. We know that those who are subjects to royalty offer them allegiance and honor. To understand how Christ is our king, we extend and magnify what we know to be true of the best of human royalty. Christ's kingship extends to all places, all people, and all times. Christ manifests his kingship through his death on the cross in which he offered salvation to everyone. Those who can see with eyes of faith recognize Jesus to be our heavenly king.

A mimo to Bóg pozostaje dla nich obcy. Chcą mieć ścisłe dowody na istnienie Boga. Czy można udowodnić istnienie Boga? Nie można udowodnić w sensie dowodzenia, z jakim spotykamy się w naukach matematycznoprzyrodniczych. Nie można się z Nim tak obchodzić, jak z materiałem doświadczalnym w laboratorium. Jego istnienie nie może być wyliczone ani za pomocą formuł matematycznych, ani też stwierdzone na podstawie analiz chemicznych. Bóg nie jest rzeczą, którą można by rozporządzać, Bóg jest "Ty" osobowym. Istnieje jednak "doświadczenie Boga" w powszednim dniu człowieka, w pytaniach: Kim ja jestem? Skąd, dlaczego, po co jestem? Jaki jest ostateczny sens człowieka? Odpowiedź na te pytania daje religia. Tam, gdzie nie ma religii, stwarza się jej namiastki. Ludzie wierzący wszystkich epok i my obecnie jesteśmy przekonani, że w rzeczywistości świata odnajdujemy znaki i ślady Boskości. Podziw człowieka budziły nie tylko zjawiska nadzwyczajne, ale powszechny porządek natury, piękno, wspaniałość, regularność i harmonia jej zjawisk. Jak wytłumaczyć je inaczej niż działaniem kierującego wszystkim Ducha Bożego? Stad tradycja religijna była już bardzo wcześnie bodźcem dla wielkich myślicieli do głębszej refleksji nad rzeczywistością, do pytania o początek i prazasadę świata. Stawali przy tym wobec tajemnicy, którą w religii, tak jak w Biblii, nazywamy Bogiem. Bóg tak odkryty nie jest wprawdzie bezpośrednio tym żywym, osobowym Bogiem, którego ukazuje nam Biblia, jest raczej prazasadą świata, czymś, co nie podlega uwarunkowaniom, absolutem. Niemniej tego typu refleksja spełnia ważną funkcję. Otwiera dojście do wiary i wykazuje, że wiara w Boga, jakkolwiek przekracza daleko czyste rozumowanie, jest jak najbardziej racjonalna.
