Today we celebrate the 34th Sunday in Ordinary Time. It is Christ the King Sunday – the last Sunday of the Liturgical Year. Next Sunday – the First Sunday of Advent – we begin a new Liturgical Year. So, we are at the end of a Church year.
It is appropriate that today we have the Gospel of the Good Thief and the King in the Crown of thorns. It illustrates that, with Jesus, it is never too late to make a new beginning. No matter what we have done, no matter how we have messed things up, Jesus The Good Monarch offers us mercy and hope – the possibility of new start.
He gives us a second chance not only at the hour of our death, but every day even today’s Eucharist. When we dedicate the day to Jesus, he removes the limits from our horizon of possibilities. He makes all things new and possible.

Reflections
1. How do we explain the passive attitude of the people? In what ways do they resemble us?
2. How does the repentant criminal symbolize us? In what ways does he resemble us?
One Main Point
Down through history, thousands and millions of subjects have died for their kings, but Jesus is the King who dies for us. He accepted crucifixion as the climax of the perfect obedience to His Father.
