DE REYES Y REINADOS Los estadounidenses tienen una relación incomoda con

los reyes. La Revolución Estadounidense se peleó paralograr la independencia del Rey Jorge, después de todo. Sinembargo, hoy cada iglesia católica alrededor del mundocelebra la Solemnidad del Nuestro Señor Jesucristo, Rey delUniverso. La celebración de hoy de la Iglesia nos invita aver más allá de nuestras lealtades nacionales y regocijarnosen nuestra primera identidad. Somos hijos de Dios en Jesús,Cristo el Rey. Nuestras lecturas nos ayudan a considerarcómo pertenecer al Reino de Dios. El libro de Samuelcaptura el profundo anhelo de los israelitas por un rey quelos pastoree. San Pablo recuerda a los colosenses quepertenecemos al reino de Cristo, cuyo poder alaba en unhermoso himno. Por último, el Evangelio de Lucas evoca eltipo de rey que Jesús elige ser, un siervo sufriente, unhombre para los demás. Al sacrificar su vida por nosotros,Jesús abre las puertas del Paraíso.

OF KINGS AND KINGSHIPAmericans have an uncomfortable relationship with

kings. The American Revolution was fought forindependence from King George, after all. Nonetheless,today every Catholic church around the world celebrates theSolemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe.Today’s feast invites us to look beyond our national loyaltiesand rejoice in our primary identity. We are children of Godin Jesus, Christ the King. Our readings help us consider whatit’s like to belong to God’s kingdom. The book of Samuelcaptures the deep longing of the Israelites for a king toshepherd them. Saint Paul reminds the Colossians that webelong to the kingdom of Christ, whose power he praises ina beautiful hymn. Finally, Luke’s Gospel calls to mind thekind of king Jesus chooses to be—a suffering servant, a manfor others. By sacrificing his life for us, Jesus throws openthe gates of Paradise. Copyright © J.

FORGIVENESSThe glory of Christianity is to conquer by forgiveness.

—William Blake
