Study, Pray, Serve: The Solemnity of our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe

By Fr. Andrew Ricci

Here are some of the themes that we find in the Mass readings for the Solemnity of Christ the King.

1st Reading – 2nd Samuel 5:1-3

The tribes of Israel come to Hebron and meet David.
Recalling the words of the Lord that he would be their shepherd and commander, they anoint David king of Israel.

Psalm – 122:1-5

“Let us go rejoicing to the house of the Lord.”
Jerusalem is the city for the people of Israel, where resides the judgment seat for the house of David.

2nd Reading – Colossians 1:12-20

We give thanks to the Father, who gave us his beloved Son, the image of the invisible God and the firstborn of all creation.
He is the head of the body, the church, and he reconciles all things through the blood of his Cross.

Gospel – Luke 23:35-43

Christ is mocked from the Cross, where the sign above his head reads, “This is the King of the Jews.”
The good thief acknowledges Jesus who says to him, “Today you will be with me in Paradise.”
