Jharkhand, Ranchi, Nov. 27, 2018: Thousands of people gathered for the Eucharistic procession in Ranchi on Nov. 25, 2018.
Fr. Ashok, the director of Youth Centre, Bariatu was asked to reflect on the word of God. He said, “We are celebrating the feast of the King of the universe. It’s a time of reflection and prayer. As Christians how much do we value the word of God in our lives and translate it into action. We proclaim Jesus Christ as the King of universe and, on the other hand, in our day to day living we spread Satan’s kingdom through various sins, exploitation, infidelity, hatred, jealousy etc. In this fast growing world, people are distancing themselves from God. People are creating test-tube babies, making destructive atom bombs and equating themselves to God. They think that life and death is in their hand. This is a distorted understanding of God. Remember whenever people have tried to equate themselves to God, there was destruction and fall. The greatest example is that of Lucifer who revolted against God. We should listen to the word of God and must live our life according to the Gospel values. Let us proclaim Jesus Christ as the King of the universe throughout our life.”
