The Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus
Christ, King of the Universe: On
the last Sunday of the liturgical year,
the Church celebrates the Solemnity
of Christ the King. The feast was
instituted by Pope Pius XI with the
encyclical Quas Primas.
When our world is beset by civil
unrest, racial tension, and a pandemic, we do well to turn
to Our Lord, who reigns over every people and nation.
The foundation of this power and dignity of Our Lord is
rightly explained by Cyril of Alexandria. “Christ,” he says,
“has dominion over all creatures, a dominion not seized
by violence nor usurped, but by his essence and by
nature”.
When he finally arrives, blazing in beauty and all his
angels with him, the Son of Man will take his place on his
glorious throne. Then all the nations will be arranged
before him and he will sort the people out, much as a
shepherd sorts out sheep and goats, putting sheep to his
right and goats to his left.
“At the end of our life we will be judged on love, that is, on
our concrete commitment to love and serve Jesus in our
littlest and neediest brothers and sisters. That mendicant,
that needy person who reaches out his hand is Jesus;
that sick person whom I must visit is Jesus; that inmate Is
Jesus, that hungry person is Jesus. Let us consider this.”
– Pope Francis“

As we prepare for Christmas, the General Instruction of

the Roman Missal notes some differences to the Mass
that should be observed during the season. For one,
you’ll notice that the priest will wear violet or purple during
Advent, except for the Third Sunday of Advent, or
Gaudete Sunday, when rose is worn (GIRM, no. 316).
