Eyes on Christ, Not Politics

 

 Readings 042126

I don’t talk about politics.
It’s not what I’m called to do.
My call is to proclaim Christ—
to work for God’s Kingdom,
to lift up His mercy, His peace, His love.

In our world today, we need to remember some simple truths.

The Pope carries the weight of every soul on earth.
He is the Vicar of Christ,
the shepherd who guards the unity of the Church,
the servant of the Prince of Peace.

Civil leaders are entrusted with seeking the common good
and guiding the people they serve.
The President carries the weight of leading a nation.

Different missions.
Different responsibilities.
Different perspectives.

But the enemy loves confusion.
He stirs division.
He twists what people see and understand.
He works to pull our eyes and hearts away from Christ.

So believers must remain strong
and preach Jesus Christ—
not power,
not party,
not nation,
but Christ.

“You are my rock.
You are my fortress.
You will lead and guide me.”

Stephen shows us the way.
Filled with the Holy Spirit,
he looked up and saw the glory of God
and Jesus standing at the Father’s right hand.
Even in conflict, his eyes stayed on heaven.

And Jesus gives us the promise our hearts long for:
“I am the bread of life.”
Not the bread of politics.
Not the bread of power.
The Bread that gives life to the world.

Prayer

Lord, keep our eyes on You.
Make us steady.
Make us faithful.
Make us hungry for the Bread that never fails.

Amen
