Meditate on God's Word

Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe

Today we celebrate the Solemnity of Christ the King, a reminder that Jesus is not only Savior but also King of all creation. His kingship is unlike earthly power—it is rooted in love, humility, and service. In the Gospel, we see that His throne is the Cross, and His crown is made of thorns. This challenges us to rethink what true authority means: it is not domination, but self-giving love.

As followers of Christ, we are called to let Him reign in our hearts, our families, and our communities. His kingdom is one of justice, peace, and mercy. When we forgive, serve others, and stand for truth, we help build that kingdom here on earth.

Let us ask ourselves:

Is Christ truly the King of my life?
Do my choices reflect His values of compassion and humility?
May we proclaim with our lives that Jesus Christ is King of the Universe, and allow His love to transform the world through us.

Prayer:
Lord Jesus, King of the Universe, reign in my heart and guide my steps. Help me to live as a faithful servant in Your kingdom of love and peace. Amen.
