Today's Gospel according to St. Matthew (3:1-
12) explains that the main tenets of accepting Christ are repentance, baptism and conversion. Conversion is merely avoiding the evil and sinful path, and choosing instead the path of love and devotion to God and humanity.

The anticipation of the coming of the
Messiah was realized the moment Jesus was
born in Bethlehem. His historical coming as an
infant will not be repeated. Centuries of waiting
ceased with this first Advent.

Today we celebrate the final Sunday of the
Church year and the observance of Christ the
King. In his encyclical "Quas primas", issued on
December 11, 1925, Pope Pius XI established
that the feast of Christ the King be celebrated on
the last Sunday of October.

I greet and welcome all on this the thirty-
second Sunday in ordinary time. How time truly
does fly! Today, I recall the year 1988 when I
was ordained a priest by His Eminence Cardinal
Joseph Bernardin. I became the first priest from
outside the Archdiocese of Chicago to be
ordained in the Archdiocese of Chicago.
