Hosts8AM: Chris Harthorne & MarnellWitte10AM: Marilyn Sturm
The readings for the solemnity of Christ the King in eachof the three Sunday cycles help us to see how differentJesus’ kingship is from that of earthly rulers. The reign ofJesus is not tied to judgment or authority, for he subjectshimself to the judgment and authority of others. Hisreign is not tied to an ability to make and defend laws, forhe submits to the existing law, which condemns him todeath on a cross. His reign is not tied to the power toconquer nations or to lead great armies againstoppressors. Christ the King comes to save, to conquer“death and the devil” (Catechism of the Catholic Church,636,1019). Rather, the kingdom of God is about comfort, peace,redemption, truth, real justice, and mercy. Even from thecross, Jesus forgave his enemies and held on to no angeror hate. He welcomed repentant sinners into thekingdom. He resisted the temptation to impress otherswith the power that came from who he was and who heknew. In the great contradiction of our faith, the power ofChrist the King is manifest in his willingness to becomepowerless for love of us. What does that mean for us, his disciples? We, too, mustlet go of power, reject destruction, and turn toward God.As we make our way, we are called to practiceforgiveness, hospitality, and humility in loving all of God’schildren. As we close this year and enter another Advent,this may be the best gift we can give to Christ our King.
