Sunday 22nd November 2009

Our Lord Jesus Christ, Universal King.

Jesus said to Pilate: 'All who are on the side of truth listen to my voice'. We celebrate Christ as King, not in the sense of the world around us, which would look to power and strength, but as the one who has the true power of truth. In him we know God as one who loves us so much that he has given us his only Son to bring us to a knowledge of his love. In Christ we also come to know the deepest truths about ourselves - that every human person is made in the image of God; that each of us is a dwelling place of God's Holy Spirit; that we are destined for eternal life; that the only way to live human life fully is to love God with our whole hearts and to love our neighbour as ourselves. It has been said that Christianity has not so much failed, as it has never been tried!

Fr. Johnny Doherty, C.Ss.R.
