Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe

November 23, 2024 • Fr Paul Chandler • Season 5

The liturgical year draws to a close with this Feast of Christ our King.
This was instituted in 1925, at a time when the world needed to hear loudly and clearly that the way to peace, harmony, and the fulfillment of peoples rests in and with Christ. All forms of government and all forms of headship of states must find their model in Christ. All nations must allow Christ to be King. Only then is real peace and genuine harmony achievable. Is this unrealisable? No, everything is possible for God but He waits patiently for every human heart to claim Christ as the King of the whole world and the whole created order.

The image is Christ the King by C.B. Chambers, circa between the 1920 and 1950 (used on the website of the Archdiocese of Sydney)
