Easter

The sound of Alleluias fills the 50 days of Easter Sunday to Pentecost as we give thanks for the gift of our salvation. The Easter Triduum recalls the passion and resurrection of Christ in the sacred journey from Holy Thursday to Easter Vigil. "Dying he destroyed our death. Rising he restored our life."

Sunday Readings and Backgrounds

Solemnity of Christ the King

Reading I : Ezekiel 34:11-12, 15-17

I will tend my sheep.

  • The shepherd image is a favorite in the Scriptures.
  • In ancient times, the king was often called the shepherd of his people.
  • In today's first reading, the prophet Ezekiel contrasts the wicked shepherds, who exploit the flock and neglect the weak, with God, who gives rest to the flock.

Reading II : 1 Corinthians 15:20-26, 28

Christ has been raised from the dead.

  • In Paul's description of the Resurrection, Christ was the King, the shepherd, who laid down his life for the flock.
  • The Corinthians doubted the reality of the resurrection for humans.
  • But, according to Paul, to deny the resurrection of believers was also to deny the Resurrection of Christ.

Gospel : Matthew 25:31-46

When did we see you hungry?

  • Today's discourse on the end time in Matthew is a description of the final judgment under the figure of a king-shepherd who separates the good and bad animals in his flock. The bad are identified as goats and the good as sheep.
  • The goats and sheep represent "all the nations," all peoples who had been called together for this judgment.
  • The point of the image is that all people will be judged by God as to how well they care for the weak and disadvantaged. Caring for "the least" of our sisters and brothers seems to be our highest calling!
