The Feast of Christ the King (C)



Readings: 2 Samuel 5: 1-3; Colossians 1: 12-20; Luke 23: 35-43

Selected Passage:  “The people stood by and watched; the rulers, meanwhile, sneered at him and said, "He saved others, let him save himself if he is the chosen one, the Messiah of God.”  (Luke 23: 35)

Meditation:  Christ the King is the crucified one for our sins.  He is the RANSON for all our offenses and he has redeemed us that we may have life to the full.  The Cross is the powerful Icon of God’s love for the whole creation.  It is for this reason that our proclamation is no other than: “By your Holy Cross, your have redeemed the world”. We do NOT simply stand and watch… but we believe in this life-giving SACRIFICE and WITNESS of LOVE of self-expenditure that others may be saved! Cf. www.badaliyya.blogspot.com
