LIVE STREAM MASS Christ the King - Nov 22, 2020

THE FEAST OF CHRIST THE KING Pastoral reflections by: Fr. Wilson Andrade, CSC Every Christian receives the Threefold ministries of Christ who is Priest, Prophet and King during his/her baptismal day, when the priest or deacon anoints with the oil of Sacred Chrism on our foreheads. So we are called priestly (praying), prophetic (preaching) and royal (serving) people of God. We are anointed like ‘David was anointed as king’ (2 Sam. 5:3). So we share in the kingship of Jesus i...n our Baptism. Today as we celebrate the Feast of Christ the King, we reflect on the Kingship of Jesus. Jesus Christ is the King and Lord of the Creation. Yet today we read in the Scripture that Jesus was questioned by Pilate about His kingship, later, condemned on the cross (not a cozy throne), given a crown of thorns (not of gold), mocked and spiting on him questioning: are you not Christ? Save yourself and us! (no praising and singing ‘Hails’). Still we celebrate today and say: Jesus Christ is the King. How does Jesus Christ become the King of the universe? Jesus Christ reveals that his kingdom is of truth everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice (Jn. 18: 37). The book of Revelation proclaims that ‘to Jesus Christ belongs all glory and power as Jesus loved us and has freed us from our sins by his blood’ (Rev. 1:6). It is Saint Paul who writes the beautiful Poem of Glory of Jesus Christ as King praising: Jesus is King because by dying he saved us from our Last enemy, death brought about redemption, forgiveness of sins and making peace through the blood of his Cross. (Colossians 1: 12 20). Today we are left with those prayerful words of the sinner who was dying with Jesus on the Cross prayed: Jesus, Remember me when you come into your Kingdom. Then Jesus, before his death, makes the Royal Promise while hanging on the cross: Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise. So we honor Jesus Christ as King and Lord of the Universe, for winning us the Paradise for each one of us.
