Today the church's liturgical calendar concludes with Mass dedicated to Christ the King. Today’s celebration of Mass reminds us that no matter how prevalent evil may become in this world, it is still God and His goodness that will triumph in love and grace.As we celebrate the Solemnity of Christ our King, let us always keep the message of Sunday’s Gospel reading in our minds. He is a King, yet aServant. He is Lord, yet identifies Himself with the lowly. He is a God who became like us so that we might enjoy more fully the dignity that we have as His children. He is truly different from so many leaders of our time. There are leaders who enjoy being “set apart” from others – enjoying the privileges that go with their position or rank. Sunday’s celebration gives us hope that one day the lowly will be exalted and the mighty and the powerful will be thrown out of their thrones.
Jesus Christ, our King and our God, show us the path to righteousness. Help us to seek you in our brothers and sisters, especially those who are the lost, the least, and the last.
