THE LORD S FLOCK Sheep are high-maintenance animals. They are not very intelligent. Without guidance and care, especially in a climate like Israel s, they would die quickly from predators, starvation, or just their own slowness. The scriptural image of us as the Lord s flock is not terribly flattering to us, since it is only the neverending diligence of a watchful shepherd that allows the flock to survive. The feast of Christ the King was intended to call the world back to Christ as the sole power of the world, to bring back a flock that had been scattered by many negative forces of the growing industrial, scientific, and war-torn world of the early twentieth century. It is fitting that, as we celebrate Christ the King, we hear about Christ the Shepherd who cares for us and who, likewise, will be there at the end of time. Interestingly enough, as the Gospel illustrates, our own destiny is determined by the way we have been shepherds to the rest of the flock. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co. Zanim będzie za późno... Żeby dobrze zrozumieć tę Ewangelię, trzeba zwrócić uwagę na jeden szczegół: do kogo mówi Chrystus. Jeśli tego nie uwzględnimy, wtedy łatwo potraktujemy tę przypowieść jako pretekst do zwolnienia się z wielu obowiązków, które nakłada na nas wiara. Bo wymagania i kryteria oceny są zależne od sytuacji człowieka względem Boga: inną miarę stosuje się względem wierzących, inną względem ochrzczonych, a jeszcze inną wobec niewierzących. Cóż, na podstawie dzisiejszej Ewangelii można sobie trochę wyobrazić to straszliwe zamieszanie, przerażenie i rozpacz, gdy będzie się dokonywał sąd i oddzielanie sprawiedliwych od potępionych, to tłumaczenie się, szukanie protekcji, wykręcanie się od winy. Ale sąd będzie nieubłagany i sprawiedliwy, a kryteria sądu bardzo jasne i chyba oczywiste dla każdego. Ale one są oczywiste już teraz, więc dlaczego zwlekać aż do dnia sądu? Może lepiej przejść na stronę sprawiedliwych, gdy jeszcze można? Ks.

"We now live in a culture of the temporary, in which more and more people are simply giving up on marriage as a public commitment," he observed. "This revolution in manners and morals has often flown the flag of freedom, but in fact it has brought spiritual and material devastation to countless human beings, especially the poorest and most vulnerable." Evidence is mounting that the decline of the marriage culture is associated with increased poverty and a host of other social ills, disproportionately affecting women, children and the elderly. It is always they who suffer the most in this crisis.
