ORIENTATION
The Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of
the Universe is the last Sunday of the liturgical year, bringing
us full circle toward Advent hope. Christ reigns, enthroned
in heaven, King of heaven and earth for all time.
After listening to stories of his life and ministry through
Ordinary Time, our parting image is that of majesty. Like a
great rose window of a medieval cathedral, Christ the King
reminds us that Jesus is the source and center or our lives,
and his divine power extends over all of creation. As Saint
Paul tells us, “Christ is before all things, and in him all
things hold together. May the Holy Spirit help us today to
open our hearts to Christ, and invite him to reign there now
and forever.”
