Friends,
today we celebrate the feast of Christ the King. This day reminds us
what the Christian thing is all about: that Jesus really is the king,
the Lord, of our lives, that we belong utterly to him, that we can say,
with St. Paul, “It is no longer I who live but Christ who lives in me.”
If
we say anything else, we are horsing around with Christianity and not
really living it. If we pay lip service to Jesus but do not submit
completely to him, we are fooling around and not treating him as the
King of our lives. If we let him into one or two rooms of the house and
not every room, he isn’t our king; if we sequester him to a corner of
our society and not declare him sovereign over every aspect of our
society, we are not treating him as king. He is our Dominus, our Lord—or we are missing the point.
