Christ The King Sunday

This is the last Sunday of the Church’s liturgical year, known as Christ the King Sunday.  Since we have worked our way through the various themes of the Church Year, it is fitting that we should end up with this wonderful conclusion and acclamation … Christ is King! 

Note that Christ the King Sunday immediately precedes Advent which is our season to explore the themes surrounding the coming of Christ, both His first coming humbly in a manger in Bethlehem 2000 years ago, and His second coming in power and glory as ruler of all Creation at the Last Day.  On Christ the King Sunday we should ponder our readiness to meet Christ face-to-face at the end of our earthly pilgrimage, as well as  celebrate Christ as “King of kings and Lord of lords.”
