Yes, Jesus our King, the strangest King you will ever meet: a caring and close King, a conquering King who never forces, a King who is hungry and thirsty, a King who reigns from the Cross, a King who dies so we don’t have to, a King who washes our feet, a King who comes to serve rather than to be served. He is a King, all right, one who rules with love, not by force. He’s the strangest King you’ve ever met, and you meet Him every day: in the Eucharist, in the poor, in His Word, in your heart, in the events of your day … in your very self.

A caring, conquering and coming King.

I have a crucifix in almost every room to remind me of how blessed I am that Jesus died for my sins. I do thank Him and try to show my gratitude with how He would want me to: loving Him and loving my neighbor.

Very good remarks from Msgr. Pope. I got his little book on the Ten Commandments recently, but haven’t begun reading it yet.

Does anyone know who did that painting of Jesus with all the faces of famous people. The name of the painter escapes me.

There was a homily that I listened on the radio yesterday that essentially talked about 2 issues:

Tithing and sexual freedom:
Regarding tithing - we owe God 100% of our income as He provided us with Life, our ability to earn income, air to breathe, the earth that we live on, our freedom, and everything that we have comes from the Creator.

While God has provided for us, He has also given us the freedom to chose His way or the highway.

Regarding sexual freedom - God gave us the freedom to chose, but showed us the path to true happiness in following God’s plan.

We owe God so much for all that he has given us, but we will not find true happiness if we do not learn to trust God and to voluntarily follow His path for us.

I tried to find the homily, but was not able to locate it.

May all find God’s peace.
