THE KINGSHIP OF CHRIST

It has long been a common custom to give to Christ the metaphorical title of King because of the high degree of perfection whereby he excels all creatures. So he is said to reign in the hearts of men, both by reason of the keenness of his intellect and the extent of his knowledge, and also because he is very truth, and it is from him that truth must be obediently received by all mankind. He reigns, too, in the wills of men, for in him the human will was perfectly and entirely obedient to the holy will of God, and further by his grace and inspiration he so subjects our free will as to incite us to the most noble endeavors. He is King of hearts, too, by reason of his charity which exceeds all knowledge (Eph 3:19), and by his mercy and kindness which draw all men to him, for never has it been known, nor will it ever be, that man be loved so much and so universally as Jesus Christ….

On many occasions, when...the populace thronged around him in admiration and would have acclaimed him King, he shrank from the honor and sought safety in flight. Before the Roman magistrate he declared that his Kingdom was not of this world. The Gospels present this Kingdom as one which men prepare to enter by penance, and cannot actually enter except by faith and by baptism, which….signifies and produces an interior regeneration. This Kingdom is opposed to none other than to that of Satan and to the power of darkness. It demands of its subjects a spirit of detachment from riches and earthly things and a spirit of gentleness. They must hunger and thirst after justice, and more than this, they must deny themselves and carry the cross.

Christ as our Redeemer purchased the Church at the price of his own blood; as priest he offered himself, and continues to offer himself as a victim for our sins. Is it not evident, then, that his kingly dignity partakes in a manner of both these offices? Pope Pius XI Pope Pius XI, whose motto was “the peace of Christ in the Kingdom of Christ,” canonized many saints, including Saint John Vianney and Saint Therese of Lisieux. 2019 November Magnificat

The interplay of light and darkness speak to the meaning of Advent and the coming of the Light St. John Church of the world. The Mass takes its title, Rorate Caeli, from the first ADVENT MISSION words of the , which are from Isaiah 45:8: “Rorate, caeli, desuper, et nubes pluant justum, aperiatur terra, et Thursday — Saturday germinet Salvatorem.” December 12th — 14th “Drop down dew, ye heavens, from above, and let the clouds rain the just: let the earth be opened and bud forth a Saviour.” Fr. Matthew Kauth will hold an Advent Mission in the Church on the evenings of December 12, 13 and 14. The Rorate Mass is lit only by candlelight. Because it is a in Mary’s honor, white vestments are worn instead of Advent violet. In the dimly lit setting, priests and faithful SCHEDULE prepare to honor the Light of the world, Who is soon to be born, and offer praise to God for the gift of Our Lady.
