For the Solemnity of Christ the King, today’s Scripture passages proclaim Jesus’ kingship. Jesus makes it clear to Pilate in St. John’s Gospel that He is not a worldly king — His kingdom is elsewhere. In Revelation, the Lord God states that He is the “Alpha and the Omega”, that is, the “first and the last,” and will reign for all time. The Book of Daniel tells of Christ’s dominion and glory. How should we revere our Lord and King? We, as good stewards, fully acknowledge the true presence of the Body and Blood of Christ in the Eucharist and strive to receive Him during Mass in a prayerful and reverent manner. We also understand that through the Eucharist we are nourished and strengthened to serve the Lord as He has planned for us. What do we bring of our time, talent, and treasure to the Eucharistic table?
