Dear family members and friends: Today we celebrate the feast of Christ the King. Jesus Christ is the King of the universe. St. Paul says, “He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.” His Kingdom is the Kingdom of eternal salvation. On the cross Jesus tells the thief on the right side, “Truly I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise.” That is the eternal salvation. Christ is the King of that paradise, the place of eternal salvation. Let us proclaim Jesus as our King and submit ourselves to Him to be with Him always. Amen

Dear family members and friends We are approaching the end of the liturgical year. It also means how much we have grown in our spiritual experience. Jesus warns us not to judge looking at the outward appearance. Also we see many people who speak in the name of Jesus but are not presenting him in the right manner. Today let us pray to have a real spiritual experience of Jesus in our life and not to simply follow false prophets and teachers. Amen
