Episode 53: Year A – Solemnity of Christ the King

In this episode of the Sunday Catholic Word, we end our apologetical reflections for Year A of the Sunday Mass readings with the Gospel reading for the Solemnity of Christ the King, taken from Matthew 25:31-46. We focus primarily on the Gospel reading. However, the apologetical value of some of the details can only be appreciated against the backdrop of the first reading, which is taken from Ezekiel 34:11-12, 15-17. So, we reflect on both the Gospel and the first reading in this episode and highlight details that relate to the topics of Jesus’ divinity, the reality of hell, and the belief that our charitable deeds are meritorious of eternal life.
