The Solemnity of Christ the King
Luke 18:7
Above him there was an inscription that read, “This is the King of the Jews.”
---------------------------------------------------------
This Sunday, we celebrate the Feast of Christ the King (properly the Solemnity of Christ the King in the Roman Catholic Church) which is the last holy Sunday in the western liturgical calendar.
And starting next week, we would start with the new liturgical year, starting with the Advent season as we prepare for Christmas, the birth of our Lord.
During the first Good Friday, the Lord was mocked and rebuked and put to death for telling the truth. The sign on the cross is not really meant to worship Him as King but rather to mock Him for telling so. Little do they know that He is the King of us all, since their hearts are clouded with evil, jealousy and hatred.
They cannot accept the truth that this simple man who loved the sick, the disabled and those poor in spirit, will someday rule over them.
Have you already accepted Jesus as your Lord, Savior and King? Or your heart is still clouded with uncertainty. Kneel on your knees and pray. Accept Him on your heart today for tomorrow may be too late.
“I would forsake a thousand other days anywhere
If I could spend one day in Your courts, belong to You alone.
My strength are You alone,
My Glory, my King and my God.”
Let us pray +
Almighty Father, today, I am with you in Paradise. For 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. Amen +
Let us go rejoicing to the house of the Lord.
