Lord, Remember Me When You Come into Your Kingdom!
Description
Christ is King of the Universe! We all know that and, at least in theory, we acknowledge and accept His Kingship over us. But that is where it gets tricky, because in practice, we can reject wholly or partially His Kingship over us. There is a rival to his authority and that is basically the EGO. In each soul there is a throne. Who sits in that throne? The Church celebrates this feast, not only to inform the world who we recognize as king, but also for us to examine ourselves about whether we practice our being subjects in his Kingdom. Look at the gospel today. The good thief made it to His Kingdom. Jesus promised him that he would be with Him "today" in paradise. How did he do it? He was punished for his having been a thief! He committed theft right there again. He stole the Heart of Jesus because he was sorry for his sins! Let us do the same!
