It began on 11th October 2012, exactly fifty years to the day from the start of Vatican II, and continues to the feast of Christ the King on 24th November 2013, just before Advent that year. During the Year of Faith, we are recalling the events of the Council and studying its various documents. My particular interest being liturgy, I have spent quite a lot of time on that subject, re-reading the Council’s document, the Constitution on the Liturgy, usually called Sacrosanctum Concilium (the first two words of its Latin text). I have been invited to lead several discussions and give some talks on the Constitution. My knowledge of the Constitution as well as my appreciation of its teaching about the liturgy, and especially on the Eucharist, are both being deepened as a result.

SOLEMNITY OF CHRIST THE KING Celebrated on the last Sunday of the liturgical year, the Solemnity of Christ the King was instituted by Pope Pius XI in 1925 with his encyclical Quas primas to respond to growing secularism. The Holy Father saw that attempting to “thrust Jesus Christ and his holy law” out of public life would result in continuing discord among people and nations. The Solemnity reminds the faithful that Christ reigns as king of the entire world forever, and it en- courages Catholics to respond to this reality. Pope Pius XI notes: “The kingship and empire of Christ have been recognized in the pious custom, practiced by many families, of dedicating themselves to the Sacred Heart of Jesus; not only families have performed this act of dedication, but nations, too, and kingdoms” (Quas primas, 26).

  • Reflection for the Feast of Christ the King
    Reflection for the Feast of Christ the King Almighty ever-living God, whose will is to restore all things in your beloved Son, the King of the universe, grant we pray, that the whole creation, set free from slavery, may render your majesty service and ceaselessly proclaim your praise. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Collect for Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe The Feast of Christ the King that we celebrate today is a relatively recent addition to the Liturgical Calendar. Pope Pius XI instituted this Feast in 1925 with his encyclical Quas Primas (In the First), and the Feast was first celebrated on October 31, 1926. Due to concern about a growing secularism and nationalism in the world Pope Pius XI instituted the Feast of Christ the King to remind all of us of the universal nature of our Lord and the connection that we have to one another due to the fact that we are all part of God’s creation. Viewing Christ as the King of the Universe is not an idea that developed in the 20th century, rather this concept dates back to the start of Christianity and has its roots in the Jewish faith and the belief in the Messiah, the Savior of the world. We can read from the works of St. Cyril of Alexandria who was born in 376 and died in 444 and was the Bishop of Alexandria Egypt.

  • What Ordinary Time Means in the Catholic Church
    What Ordinary Time Means In The Catholic Church Because the term ordinary in English most often means something that's not special or distinctive, many people think that Ordinary Time refers to parts of the calendar of the Catholic Church that are unimportant. Even though the season of Ordinary Time makes up most of the liturgical year in the Catholic Church, the fact that Ordinary Time refers to those periods that fall outside of the major liturgical seasons reinforces this impression. Yet Ordinary Time is far from unimportant or uninteresting. Why Is Ordinary Time Called Ordinary? Ordinary Time is called "ordinary" not because it is common but simply because the weeks of Ordinary Time are numbered. The Latin word ordinalis, which refers to numbers in a series, stems from the Latin word ordo, from which we get the English word order. Thus, the numbered weeks of Ordinary Time, in fact, represent the ordered life of the Church—the period in which we live our lives neither in feasting (as in the Christmas and Easter seasons) or in more severe penance (as in Advent and Lent), but in watchfulness and expectation of the Second Coming of Christ. It's appropriate, therefore, that the Gospel for the Second Sunday of Ordinary Time (which is actually the first Sunday celebrated in Ordinary Time) always features either John the Baptist's acknowledgment of Christ as the Lamb of God or Christ's first miracle—the transformation of water into wine at the wedding at Cana. Thus for Catholics, Ordinary Time is the part of the year in which Christ, the Lamb of God, walks among us and transforms our lives.
