A homily for the First Sunday of Advent, by the Rev. Terrance Klein

The Solemnity of Christ the King is not an old feast. It was created by Pius XI in 1925. What does it mean in our lives today?

Can a song save your life? Can a canticle change your life, fundamentally alter its course?

Will Christ manifest himself and end history? Assuredly yes, if you believe in him and what he said. When will this happen and how? Even in this atomic age, we still do not know.

The people we loved and who we became because we loved, these shall not pass.

On this Feast of All Souls, let us remember "our people," living for God and for each other. We can live for both, and die for both.
