Homily Rewind from St. Margaret Mary Church

This Thanksgiving, parishioners Jimm and Jeanne share their story. They tell of God’s healing in their lives, and the importance of realizing that each moment is a gift. They remind us to be ever thankful of God’s presence.

Today we celebrate the Solemnity of Christ the King, Fr. Walsh challenges us to not let the season we are coming into distract us from its true meaning. He suggests that if we all reflect on today’s gospel throughout Advent, that the Lord that is on the cross is the same one that loves us eternally, then we will realize that the celebration at Christmas is truly a special celebration.

Today Deacon Nemsy speaks on the drama of the second coming of Christ. This drama is the triumph over good, over evil, and the triumph of justice. He tells us that Jesus has prepared a place for us in the House of the Father. All Jesus wants is for us to love Him back, and that this is the true drama of salvation.

The gospel today tells us the end is coming but we do not know the time or the hour. Deacon Bill tells us that even though this world is going to end we still need to continue to use our gifts and talents to build up His kingdom on earth.
