This weekend we celebrate the 33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time, year C, and the next-to-last Sunday of this liturgical cycle. The theme of Christ coming as the final King of the Universe continues through today and next Sunday as we culminate the end of the liturgical year with the feast of Christ the King.
Today's psalm foretells the Lord's coming and encourages us to praise the coming King of the Universe. Taken from Psalm 98, the response is:
"The Lord comes to rule the earth with justice."
Our communion antiphon also reminds us to place our hope in the Lord. Taken from Psalm 73, verse 28, we read:
"To be near God is my happiness,
to place my hope in God the Lord."
