John 18:33b-37<\/strong><\/span><\/a>
Pilate said to Jesus, “Are you the King of the Jews?” Jesus answered, “Do you say this on your own or have others told you about me?” Pilate answered, “I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests handed you over to me. What have you done?” Jesus answered, “My kingdom does not belong to this world. If my kingdom did belong to this world, my attendants would be fighting to keep me from being handed over to the Jews. But as it is, my kingdom is not here.” So, Pilate said to him, “Then you are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say I am a king. For this I was born and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice.”
Pilate said to Him, \u201cWhat is truth?\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Daniel 7:13-14<\/strong><\/span><\/a>
The Book of Daniel was composed sometime during the persecution of the Jewish people by An-tiochus IV Epiphanes that began in the year 167 B.C. The author is unknown. The book is named after a young Jewish man who was carried off to Babylon during the beginning of the Exile and who lived in Babylon until at least 536 B.C. The story of Daniel spans the years from 606 B.C. through 536 B.C., in the third year of Persian King Cyrus. The name Daniel consists of two He-brew words daniy (to judge) and el (God). The name means either my judge is God or God has judged. Although there are other scriptural references to persons named Daniel, there is no proof that they are the character of this book.
Our pericope is taken from the 7th Chapter of Daniel, which is entitled Vision of the Four Beasts. The author is writing during the great persecution that began in the year 167 B.C. He is describ-ing a dream that Daniel had in the first year of King Belshazzar of Babylon which was in 556 B.C., 17 years prior to the end of the Exile. The four beasts represent the four successive pagan empires that dominated the region for the next 400 years, the Babylonians, the Medes, the Per-sians and the Greeks. The fourth and final beast, the Greek Empire, had 10 horns representing the 10 kings of the Seleucid Dynasty, and another little horn (see vs 8) represents the current king Antiochus IV Epiphanes. King Antiochus IV murdered the Jewish high priest Onias III in the year 170 (see 2 Mac 4:33-35). In 167 the Jerusalem Temple was ransacked and desecrated and the great persecution of the Jews began.
As the vision continued the beasts were brought before the throne of the Ancient One. Daniel watched as the arrogant words of the horn spoke to no avail and beasts were thrown into the fire and burnt up. (see vs 10). \u201cThe other beasts, which lost their dominion, were granted a prolonga-tion of life for a time and a season.\u201d (Dan 7:12). This sets the stage for verses 13 and 14.
As the visions during the night continued, I saw one like a Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven. In contrast to the beasts, the worldly kingdoms and their leaders, that came up from the great abyss, the Son of Man comes from the heavenly realm. Jesus clearly reveals Himself as the Son of Man. After His arrest, as Jesus stood before the Sanhedrin, the high priest asked Him: \u201cAre you the Messiah, the son of the Blessed One? Then Jesus answered, \u2018I AM; and you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of the Power and coming on the clouds of heaven.\u2019\u201d (Mk 14:61-62). See also Mk 8:20, 8:38, 13:26; Lk 5:20; Mt 24:30; Rev 1:7, and Rev 14:14.
When He reached the Ancient One\u2026 The Ancient One is obviously God the Father. The Prophet Isaiah refers to God as Everlasting Father or Father-Forever. (see Is 9:5). In contrast to the rise and fall of nation states and earthly kingdoms, the permanence of God\u2019s eternal and everlasting kingdom is being revealed in this vision. \u201cHis dominion is an everlasting dominion\u2026\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Psalm 93:1, 1-2, 5<\/strong><\/span><\/a>
Psalm 93 consists of 5 verses. It is entitled God is a Mighty King. The song celebrates Yahweh as the king of all of creation (vs 1-2), and as victor over the primordial chaos (vs 3-4), whose reign will never end (v 5). The Lord is robed in majesty. The beauty of God\u2019s creation glorifies the Lord. The first verses celebrate God the Father, the mighty, all-powerful creator God.
The flood has raised up\u2026 God is more powerful than the roar of the raging waters. The great abyss, the primordial waters of creation were transformed by God into the beauty of creation. The great beasts that emerged from the abyss were tamed by the all-powerful Yahweh as pro-claimed by the Book of Daniel. (first reading). Throughout sacred scripture, God\u2019s power over the power of water has been a symbol of salvation. God is the Rock of my refuge in the storms of life. It was Jesus who walked on the water and calmed the sea. Jesus, the Son of God, is glori-fied in these verses.
Holiness belongs to Your house, Lord, for all the length of days. It was the mighty Ruah, the mighty wind, the Holy Spirit that hovered over the waters of creation. It is the Holy Spirit that sanctifies and brings holiness to all things.
The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are glorified in this short psalm. The power and majesty of our Triune God is held up for us as King of the Universe. It is a universal and an eternal king-dom for all the length of days.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Revelation 1:5-8<\/strong><\/span><\/a>
The best evidence as to the date of composition of The Book of Revelation is from the testimony of Irenaeus who proclaimed that it was written during the reign of Domitian (81-96 A.D.). Most scholars date the writing 90-95 A.D. Although some modern scholars disagree with the author-ship, Irenaeus, Clement of Alexandria, Tertullian, Hippolytus, and Origin all attest to the beloved apostle John as the author, while he was imprisoned on the Isle of Patmos. Although there was no lack of persecution of Christians before and after, there is no clear evidence of significant per-secution in Asia during the reign of Domitian.1 In a similar vein as the Gospel of John, Revela-tion envisions a great battle between good and evil, light and darkness, heavenly versus worldly realms.
John, to the seven Churches of Asia\u2026 The seven Churches is a symbolic number representing the whole Church of Asia or perhaps the whole universal Church. There were at least three other Churches in Asia listed in Paul\u2019s Letters, i.e. Troas, Colossae, and Hierapolis. Asia was a Roman province in modern day Turkey.
From Him who is, who was, and who is to come\u2026 This description of God parallels God\u2019s revela-tion of Himself to Moses in the burning bush; see Exod 3:14, \u201cThus you shall say to the children of Israel, \u2018I AM He who is and who will be has sent me to you.\u2019\u201d In the second part of Exod 3:14, the phrase is shortened to \u05d9\u05d4 \u05d0\u05b6\u05b6\u05b0 ehyeh: \u201cAnd thus you will say to the sons of Israel, \u2018I AM
\u05d9\u05d4 \u05d0\u05b6\u05b6\u05b0 ehyeh sent me to you.\u2019\u201d I AM in Greek is ego eimi. Jesus will use this title many times to reveal His divine nature. Aquinas uses Exod 3:14 to describe God as Being Itself.
Witness\u2026 The underlying Greek word for witness is martys. Although its original meaning is precisely to testify or witness, the word evolved to describe the ultimate witness, the shedding of one\u2019s blood for the faith. Jesus is of course the faithful witness. He is the model witness against the Roman Empire and against the forces of evil.
The first born of the dead\u2026 St. Paul uses the term first fruits of those who have fallen asleep and tells us that the first fruits of Jesus is His resurrection, e.g. \u201cBut now Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.\u201d (1 Cor 15:20).
And ruler of the kings of the earth\u2026 It is Christ and not Caesar who is ruler of the kings of the earth. \u201cHe (Christ) has a name written on His cloak and on His thigh, \u2018King of kings and Lord of lords.\u2019\u201d (Rev 19:16).
Verse 7 is echoed by the words of Jesus in Matthew 24:30: \u201cAnd then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming upon the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.\u201d This verse brings together the vision of Dan 7:13 (our first reading today) and Zech 12:10. The connotation from Zech 12:10 is that people will mourn for what they have done to Jesus by their sins. \u201cI will pour out on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and petition; and they shall look upon him whom they have thrust through, and they shall mourn for him as one mourns for an only son, and they shall grieve over him as one grieves over a firstborn.\u201d (Zech 12:10).
\u201cI AM (ego eimi) the alpha and the omega,\u201d says the Lord God. This is one of four I AM state-ments in Revelation. Two are attributed to God (1:8, 21:6) and two to Jesus (1:17, 22:13). (See discussion above relative to ego eimi). John unites God and Jesus the Lamb throughout Revela-tion. The alpha and omega, the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet, represent the first and the last. \u201cThus says the Lord, Israel\u2019s King and redeemer, the Lord of hosts: \u2018I AM the first and I AM the last; there is no God but Me.\u2019\u201d (Is 44:6).
The Almighty. Pantokrator in the original Greek. This is also translated Lord of Hosts from the Septuagint translation. John uses this title for God often. (See 4:8; 11:17; 15:13; 16:7, 14; 19:6, 15; and 21:22). Pantokrator means omnipotent, the one who has power over all, and is ruler over all. John uses this title exclusively for God the Father.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

John 18:33b-37<\/strong><\/span><\/a>
The scene of our Gospel passage is Jesus before Pilate in the Praetorium. Jesus responds to Pi-late, \u201cMy kingdom does not belong to this world.\u201d The word for kingdom in the original Greek is basileia. The word basileia is used only one other time in the Gospel of John. It is used in the story of Nicodemus. \u201cJesus answered, \u2018Amen, amen, I say to you, no one can enter the kingdom (basileia) of God without being born of water and Spirit.\u2019\u201d (Jn 3:5). The Kingdom is a \u201cplace\u201d where God reigns, a community, and those who are of God, of the truth, respond to the voice of Jesus and see and enter into that kingdom.2 The basileia of Jesus may not be \u201cof the world,\u201d but this does not mean that it cannot be found \u201cin the world.\u201d3
Jesus answered, “You say I am a king. For this I was born and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth.\u201d The word that we translate as testify (sometimes translated witness) is martyreo in the original Greek. It is a form of the word martys. (Please see comments under Revelation exegesis above). The underlying Greek word that we translate as truth is alethia. The original word has a much deeper connotation than the English translation truth. Jesus once said, \u201cI AM the Way, and the Truth and the Life.\u201d (Jn 14:6). Now He is telling us that it was for this that He was born, to testify to the truth. In the use of the word in sacred scrip-ture it carries connotations of steadfastness, faithfulness, trustworthiness, constancy, perma-nence, and ultimate reality. Belgium scripture scholar Ignace de la Potterie in his book La Verite describes Alethia in the Gospel of John as the revelation of God, which is the funda-mental mission of Jesus, i.e., for this I was born, to make God known to the world. There-fore, Jesus is the Truth. He is not one truth among many; there is only one.
So, Pilate asks the right question, \u201cWhat is truth?\u201d The Truth was standing before him, and he did not recognize Him in the moment. The Truth of God\u2019s love and mercy will be mani-fest to the world on the Cross.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

This weekend we celebrate the great feast of Christ the King. The Gospel scene is Jesus standing before Pilate as He is about to face His passion and death. Pilate asks the question, \u201cAre you the king of the Jews?\u201d Jesus responds by saying, \u201cMy kingdom does not belong to this world\u2026 For this I was born and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice.\u201d Then Pilate asks the question, \u201cWhat is truth?\u201d
That is the question. The problem is that we live in world where many believe that truth is relative to what they want it to be. We live in a world where people think that they can define truth, e.g. it is true if I believe that it is true. That is not truth!
In sacred scripture the Greek word that we translate as truth is a word that does not trans-late well into English. The Greek word means something more like ultimate reality. The underlying Hebrew word is a word that is used to speak of the steadfast unchanging love of God. This is the ultimate reality; that God is love, and that God is steadfast and immutable.
When I read our Gospel this week two other scripture passages immediately came to mind. The first is one of the great I AM statements of Jesus in John\u2019s Gospel, \u201cI AM the Way, the Truth and the Life.\u201d The second passage that I was drawn to comes from the First Letter to Timothy, \u201cGod wills all people to be saved and come to the knowledge of Truth.\u201d (1 Tm 1:2) It would seem that salvation and knowledge of Truth are directly correlated.
There is only one Truth with a capital \u201cT\u201d and that is Jesus, the Christ. He is the personi-fication of Truth. He is the ultimate reality of God\u2019s immutable steadfast Love. He is the Word made Flesh, the unveiling of all of reality. He is the Alpha and the Omega. Through Him all things came into being and toward Him all of creation is being drawn. He is both and simultaneously the deepest longing of our hearts and the fulfillment of that longing.
Every human soul ultimately has a desire and an obligation to seek the Truth. God has given us the ability to discern reality and so we have no excuse for not doing so. God has unveiled that reality in and through Jesus. Our own salvation depends on our coming to the knowledge of Truth and living and remaining in that Truth.
St. John Paul II once said, \u201cAs the world turns the Cross remains constant.\u201d As human beings made for eternity our souls are seeking the immutability and the immortality from which and for which we were created. The Good News is that \u201cGod wants all people to be saved and come to the knowledge of Truth.\u201d (1 Tm 2:4). All we have to do is accept the gift and conform our will to that of God. Remember that as we pray the Lords Prayer together this weekend at Mass\u2026 \u201cThy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.\u201d Come Holy Spirit fill the hearts of us Your faithful and enkindle in us the fire of Your love. Amen.<\/p>

At this time every year as we come to the end of the Liturgical Year of the Church, the Church calls us to reflect on our readiness to meet Jesus at our death or at the Parousia, the second coming of Jesus, the end of the world as we know it. As the calendar year also nears the end the days grow shorter and the death of winer is setting in. It is a good time to stop and reflect on just how prepared we are for that inevitable moment in time when each one of us will stand before the Lord.
I remember as a child learning for the first time that the sun was a ball of burning gases that would one day burn out. No one told me the timeframe of that event and it caused me great consternation for a time until I had the nerve to ask my teacher about the time frame. The answer of several billion years gave me some consolation.
As soon as that fear left me, the Cuban Missel Crisis became front and center in the daily news. In addition to the regular fire drills at school we began to practice for the event of a global nuclear war. One of those exercises was to get under our desk and place our head be-tween our knees. I had two basic problems with this exercise; one, I could not fit under my desk as I was an oversized kid, and two, I could not get my head between my knees as my belly was too big. I confided this dilemma to my grandfather one day and his response was, \u201cDon\u2019t worry about it, the blast will probably vaporize you anyway.\u201d At the time I did not realize that he was trying to be funny. An alternative bomb drill that I liked much better was to walk in single file down to the local church basement which was the designated Fall-Out Shelter.
As a young person, episodes like this come and go and we quickly move on with day to day living and the eventuality of death or end times fades from our consciousness. As a priest I am with people all the time who are facing death. Now as I am getting older more and more of my friends and family are passing on. A dear friend of over 20 years was just diagnosed yesterday with terminal cancer with a prognosis of three weeks. Each day I be-come more and more conscious of my own mortality.
Jesus reminds us that we do not know the day or the hour. The message is to always live in right relationship with the Lord. Jesus does not want us to live in fear. He reminds us over and over to be not afraid. He wants us to live with the assurance of His love and mercy. He came to testify to the Truth, the reality that God\u2019s love is stronger than death. By rising from the dead, He conquered the power of death and shows us a world beyond the grave. He tells us that He has prepared a dwelling place for us, so that where He is we also may be. If we die with Him, we shall also live with Him. The goal is to die with Him. Amen.<\/p>

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tI first encountered Fr. Glenn\u2019s preaching on Ash Wednesday, 2006.\u00a0 It only took one homily, and my family and I realized that Fr. Glenn has a very special gift.\u00a0 Fr. Glenn is clearly very spiritual, and that comes through in all of his homilies and reflections.\u00a0 His spirituality is not aloof, or inaccessible.\u00a0 His holiness is authentic, grounded, accessible and on fire.\u00a0 And, that fire is shared, such that the listener also becomes on fire, and inspired to go deeper with Scripture, with God and with our neighbor.\u00a0 Fr. Glenn has inspired me to engage at the deepest level and to work to find my spiritual path, always encouraging, mentoring, coaching.\u00a0 I would strongly encourage anyone who can to attend one of his Masses, homilies, or podcasts.\u00a0 Catch the fire of the Holy Spirit working through Fr. Glenn!!!\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tFr. Glenn has many charisms, which he displays by his compassion, theological intelligence, spirituality, and love of God. His compassion is continually displayed when he visits the sick of the parish. His manner of prayer and conversation is definitively a gift from God. His spirituality is very evident when he preaches. His homilies are instructive, encouraging and centered on God\u2019s infinite love for each of us. Fr. Glenn is a teacher, a mentor, and a wonderful listener who encourages those around him to follow Jesus more closely. He is Spirit filled, Spirit led and Spirit giving!\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
