Solemnity of Christ the King: Maintaining Hope in the Midst of our Politics

The Solemnity of Christ the King presents us with an interesting juxtaposition between our own experience of worldly power and authority (as demonstrated by our political leaders) and Christ's power and authority. Our Gospel brings us to the Cross, the throne of Jesus. From that place of selflessness and humility, Christ shows us what makes him victorious: obedient love. This service is at the heart of what truly makes one great -- the feature of the True King of the Universe.
