Readings. Samuel 5: 1-3;Psalm 122: 1-2, 3-4, 4-5;Colossians 1: 12-20;Luke 23: 35-43 ========================================================================================== The readings for the Solemnity of Christ the King, Year C, remind us that Jesus is the One true King. They invite us to reflect on the profound mystery of Jesus’ kingship and what it truly means to acknowledge Jesus as our King and to live as His faithful followers, allowing His reign of truth and peace to transform our hearts and guide our lives. In today’s first reading from 2nd Samuel, we see the Israelites coming together to anoint David as their king. They recognize him not just as a leader but as one who will unite and shepherd them. This moment of anointing is pivotal, for it highlights the importance of leadership grounded in service and fidelity to God’s call. David's kingship foreshadows the ultimate kingship of Christ, who comes not just to rule over a nation, but to reign in the hearts of all humanity. Today’s Psalm echoes this sentiment, expressing joy in coming to the house of the Lord. It is a reminder that true authority leads us towards peace and unity in worship. When we gather in community, we affirm that Christ is our King, the one who gathers us, unites us, and leads us into deeper communion with one another. In the letter to the Colossians, St. Paul provides us a powerful vision of Christ's reign: “In him all things were created… all things hold together.” Christ is not just king in a worldly sense; He is the source of all life, the cosmic order itself. His kingship is marked by love, redemption, and the power to reconcile all creation back to Himself. In the Gospel of Luke, we encounter Jesus on the cross, surrounded by mockery =============================================================================================== @Catholic_Hymn6 @MyCatholicLifeJMJ @truewords1995 @jesuscalls
