Christ the King
Happy feast of Christ the King!
Just a reminder that Christ's kingship is one of his three primary roles: prophet, priest, and king. I have been reflecting a lot lately on this concept of kingship. It may seem a bit outdated when it has been a while since we were ruled by or respected kings, but the imagery of royalty of the Messiah is everywhere in the Bible. I am beginning to grow in fondness for this title of Christ because it helps me to put myself in right relations with my God (humility before the King of the Universe!)
The link above has some suggestions for properly celebrating today's feast day. It's not too late to read a little Quas primas!
