VOX DEI

Solemnity of Christ the King

John 18:37
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.”

Christ the King Sunday, the last holy Sunday in the western liturgical calendar year. Next week, we start with the new liturgical year, starting with the Advent season as we prepare for Christmas, the birth of our Lord.

Ahh, it’s Sunday again.

It is the day when we, at least, spend a whole one hour praising Him, singing for Him, hearing His mighty words and receiving the Eucharist - signifying that we accept Him as our Lord, our God, our Master, our Teacher, our Savior, OUR KING!

If in those little, minute things and places, we already find solace and experience paradise, what more if we really experience the true one, the one promised by our Lord. When we reach that place, we can truly say that “I am now in Paradise, with my Lord and my King!”

You are always inside me…
talking to me…
hearing my thoughts…
understanding the pain I go through…
and loving me, for the real Paradise is in my heart.

Continue filling-up my soul with Your love, Oh Lord, overflowing, out-pouring, that I may share them with others.

Let us pray +

Oh Lord, continue to console our souls. Anticipate our desires and make Yourself present to us always, bringing all those graces and remedies to those who are in need. We speak to You, for we know You are near, willing to listen. We ask these in Jesus name, our Lord and King forever. Amen +

The LORD is king; he is robed in majesty.
