Many
times our perception of a life event is
one of the biggest challenges we face.
Some experience a feeling of
“stuckness” in life: a sense of
not being able to move forward, due to a
constant retreat to familiar behaviors and
disabling emotions. Others seek our
behavioral healthcare services to heal
addictions or take the next step in their
recovery process. We welcome all and offer
a sliding scale. Services are available in
San Francisco, Marin and San Mateo
Counties.
For more information or to schedule an
appointment please call us:

by taking a name tag from the “Giving
Tree,” which will be set up in the
front of the church. We are asking for a
new and freshly wrapped gift for the
person listed on the tag. Wrapped gifts
are to be brought to the Parish Office by
Dec. 21st. For more information, please
call the Parish Office.

Reflections
GOSPEL:
Matthew 25:31-46
Today, on the feast of
Christ the King, we read that a ruler or
leader should be like a shepherd. The
leader is to care for all the people and
protect them. And a wise and loving ruler
knows that what is important for the
people is equally important for their
leader. In today’s gospel, the ruler
is also a judge. At the last judgment,
Christ is pictured as the king who judges
the nations. How does he judge? On the
basis of care and concern for the needy.
Did you notice in the gospel that all the
people were surprised at the king’s
answer to their questions? How lucky we
are to have Jesus tell us what they did
not seem to know, that when we do for
others, we do to him, and that we will be
judged on our works of mercy and justice.
Take a moment to think about these works
that the gospel mentions. Ask Christ to
reign and rule in your heart and in the
whole world.
1.) In this reading, what criteria
does the ruler/judge use to separate the
good and evil ones?
2.) List the actions, called Works
of Mercy, that are rewarded in this story.
List the actions that are not
rewarded.
3.) Those who were brought into the
kingdom and those who were excluded asked
the same question. What was the question?
What was the answer?
