What can we do to be Ambassador of Christ as we look forward to the new Liturgical Year?
Description
Today, we celebrate the Feast of Christ the King, the final Sunday of the Liturgical Year, when we acknowledge Christ as the true King of our lives and our hearts. Christ our King does not reign from a golden throne or wear a jeweled crown. His throne is the cross, and his crown is made of thorns.
As our King, Jesus offered himself in sacrifice for us, his people, and through this saving love he gained for us the way to eternal life in paradise, just as he promised the repentant thief who was crucified with Him at Calvary. This feast invites us to repent, to turn away from sin, and to live according to the values of the Gospel.
Fr Charles Anthony reminds us that each of us is called to be an ambassador of Christ: to choose love where there is anger, to seek forgiveness instead of revenge, and to pray rather than complain. As we look ahead to the new liturgical year, can we make the choice to love as Christ our King loved us?
