Solemnity of Jesus Christ King of the Universe - A. "Shepherding them rightly."
Four times in Jesus' powerful vision of the sheep and goats we meet people with needs. How easy it is for us to overlook the hungry, thirsty, sojourner, sick, imprisoned, even the naked! The prophet Ezekiel's shepherd sees the lost, stray and injured. Do we see -- and listen attentively to -- the person in front of us, with all her/his needs? Do we acknowledge this person's humanity? Judgment awaits us if we do not open our eyes.
