On this last Sunday of the liturgical year, the Church invites us to acknowledge that Jesus is our King, the King of Truth and Life, the King of Holiness and Grace, the King of Justice, Love, and Peace. He is Perfect in Every Way. He is Righteous beyond Measure. He is a Servant King.
In today's Gospel (LK 23: 35-43), Jesus tells Pilate that “everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice.” The Solemnity of Christ the King, is a day for all of us to rededicate ourselves to the truth by listening to the voice of Christ and to recognise the reign of Christ by obeying his Word.
As we celebrate the Kingship of Christ today, let us remember the truth that he is not our King if we do not listen to him, love him, serve him, and follow him.
Let us resolve to give Christ the King the central place in our lives and promise to obey his commandment of love. Long Live Christ the King!
