What for you is god? By god I mean, your goal, where your life is going. I mean what is most real to you. The answer to this question is not theoretical or abstract. It will determine the entire character and direction of your life. It will dictate how you spend your time and what you think about.

A Festival of Lessons and Carols

Some early childhood Christmases in my native Ohio were spent at my aunt's home in Youngstown, where my father was born. His mother, Grandma Mary, was still on this side of heaven and holding forth from the kitchen, bracciole and hot sausages simmering in her pot.

What I remember most after the smells, was the travel. An hour's drive in the snow and ice, my dad's hands flying from the wheel as he issued commentary on the evening, me braced between my younger sisters in adjoining car seats, and my mom pregnant with our next sister, calming us with songs of Judy Collins. All of us were draped with blankets, guarding us from the unreliable heat of an aging Volkswagen Rabbit.

8:30 AM and 11:00 service 

Pope Pius IX instituted today's Feast of Christ the King, or the Reign of Christ, in a 1925 encyclical, a papal letter sent to the bishops of the Roman Church. The feast and its timing was incorporated broadly in Christian churches -- including ours -- through ecumenical and liturgical movements a few decades later. Even if we dismiss the notion of king as an outmoded overlord, we have taken that identity in Christ in baptism, and by virtue of that, must wrestle with that identity and the sacred principles that gave rise to today. In today's gospel, on the one hand, Pilate is trying Jesus: what have you done? And on the other hand, Jesus is recapitulating the trying question of the gospels: who do you say that I am?
