Thirty-Fourth Saturday of Ordinary Time

But when the court is convened, and his power is taken away by final and absolute destruction, Then the kingship and dominion and majesty of all the kingdoms under the heavens shall be given to the holy people of the Most High, Whose Kingdom shall be everlasting: all dominions shall serve and obey him.

We are all called to serve and obey our Lord and King. He has done so much for each of us from conception through life to our eventual death. He has provided everything we need to grow in faith, hope, and love. He has give us consciences to guide us and grace to sustain us. He has sent us His Beloved Son as a sacrifice for our good and as an example of how to live our lives in accordance with His commandments. He has taught us all we need to know, in order to follow His teachings and live holy lives. He has given us insights into how we can live our lives as saintly people and has inspired us through the Holy Spirit. He is the King of All Holiness and wants us to be His People now and forever more.

In what ways are we serving God? Have we done our best to follow His commandments, live out His teachings, and listen to His inspirations? How can we become better imitators of our King and Savior?

O Lord, you are the Most High. Your Kingdom will last forever.

Amen.
