Christ the King Gospel Focus – Truth

Jesus says to Pilate that he came into the world ‘to bear witness to the truth; and all who are on the side of truth listen to my voice.’ That is where yesterday’s gospel passage finishes but as the gospel continues on, Pilate famously asks Jesus ‘What is truth?’ and the question is left dangling; unanswered. The truth Jesus has borne witness to is the truth of his whole life – the revelation of God’s love for humanity. It is for proclaiming this truth that Jesus is placed on trial and is brought before Pilate.

We pray:

Christ our King, help us to be like you, to listen to your truth and to see that all people are important, no matter who they are or where they come from. May we understand deeply your message of God’s unending love for all humanity.

We ask this prayer in faith

Amen.

The Archdiocese of Canberra Goulburn has created a family friendly Advent resource.  Advent is the season to prepare for the birth of Jesus.  Each class at St Mary's will be focussing on the four weeks of Advent with an Advent candle wreath in each room.

Families are invited to join with other families from the Archdiocese in preparing for Christmas.

Jesus. The vision and work of the Archdiocese starts and ends with the person of Jesus Christ. We invite you to encounter God's love through Jesus.
