As Roman Catholics celebrate the Solemnity of the Christ the King tomorrow, November 22, a Church leader highlighted the kind of king that Jesus is – a king who serves.
“But Jesus is not like that kind of a king. His throne is His cross. He rules by serving and saving us. His power is His redeeming love. He is the one who protects us, defends us, and even died for us. His will is to grant us eternal life and so He gives up His own life for our salvation. Jesus is rich in mercy. His power is over sin and death. His authority is to forgive us, to bring us back to the loving arms of the God the Father and reside eternally into His kingdom in Heaven,” Santos said.
Meanwhile, today’s Solemnity of Christ the King marks the last Sunday of the Catholic Church’s liturgical year and signals the observance of the following Sunday, November 29, as the First Sunday of Advent. The Act of Reparation and the Act of Dedication to Christ the King will also be prayed during the mass.
