True Kingship
At the end of the liturgical year, we celebrate the feast of Christ the King. But Christ’s kingship is different from any with which we’re familiar – his kingdom “does not belong to this world.” His kingship doesn’t demand violence, but truth. Following him brings us closer to God’s grace. Jesus must be the ruler of every part of our lives—family, work, personal, intellectual, and physical. Unlike earthly kings who take and rule by power, Jesus rules with love and service. His kingdom is eternal and unshakable. He has all power and authority given by God. His kingdom is one of peace, justice, and love that will never fade away. Jesus invites all of us into His kingdom, regardless of our background. Jesus has authority over all creation. His kingdom is not limited by time or space. He is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. His eternal reign brings hope and security, knowing that He is in control. The Solemnity of Christ the King calls us to honor Jesus as our King. His love, sacrifice, and authority are unmatched. By following Him, we become part of His eternal kingdom, where true peace and joy are found. www.young-catholics.com
El verdadero Reinado
Al final del año litúrgico, celebramos la fiesta de Cristo Rey. Pero el reinado de Cristo es diferente a todos los que conocemos: su reino “no es de este mundo”. Su reinado no exige violencia, sino verdad. Seguirlo nos acerca a la gracia de Dios. Jesús debe ser el gobernante de cada parte de nuestra vida: familia, trabajo, personal, intelectual y física. A diferencia de los reyes terrenales que toman y gobiernan con poder, Jesús gobierna con amor y servicio. Su reino es eterno e inquebrantable. Él tiene todo el poder y la autoridad dados por Dios. Su reino es uno de paz, justicia y amor que nunca se desvanecerá. Jesús nos invita a todos a su reino, independientemente de nuestro origen. Jesús tiene autoridad sobre toda la creación. Su reino no está limitado por el tiempo o el espacio. Él es el Alfa y la Omega, el principio y el fin. Su reinado eterno trae esperanza y seguridad, sabiendo que Él está en control. La Solemnidad de Cristo Rey nos llama a honrar a Jesús como nuestro Rey. Su amor, sacrificio y autoridad son incomparables. Al seguirlo, nos convertimos en parte de su reino eterno, donde se encuentran la verdadera paz y la alegría.
