The Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe

Luke 23:35-43

The rulers sneered at Jesus and said, “He saved others, let him save himself if he is the chosen one, the Christ of God.” Even the soldiers jeered at him. As they approached to offer him wine they called out, “If you are King of the Jews, save yourself.” Above him there was an inscription that read, “This is the King of the Jews.” Now one of the criminals hanging there reviled Jesus, saying, “Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us.” The other, however, rebuking him, said in reply, “Have you no fear of God, for you are subject to the same condemnation? And indeed, we have been condemned justly, for the sentence we received corresponds to our crimes, but this man has done nothing criminal.” Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” He replied to him, “Amen, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise.”

Opening Prayer: Lord Jesus, you are my King. Grant that your Kingdom will come into my heart more fully every day. Reign in my heart!

Encountering Christ:

  1. The Throne: Today is the great Solemnity of Christ the King. The liturgy has been preparing us for this day through readings focused on themes that poignantly remind us of our eternal destiny, the New Covenant, and Jesus as the mediator. Why then did the Church choose a Gospel passage about his Crucifixion to celebrate the climactic day of the liturgical year? From the cross we discover the King of the Universe who reigns triumphantly through justice and mercy. Only the God-man can atone infinitely for mankind’s transgressions and achieve the justice due from man to God. Only the God-man can triumph through the total gift of himself out of love, revealing that his glorious and heavenly throne passes first through the wood of the cradle and the cross.

     

  2. The Reign: The Psalms have alluded to God’s reign since the beginning of creation. “The Lord has set his throne in heaven; his dominion extends over all” (Ps 103:19). The Christological hymn of Philippians 2:5-11 reveals Jesus’ reign being established in a particular way, in his person, through his Incarnation, through his life and death, and in his exaltation to the right hand of the Father through his Resurrection and Ascension. He is a King who reigns in and through his person, by establishing his Church as a sign of his Kingdom. God’s reign is present wherever Christ is present, through grace. For this reason we pray, “Thy Kingdom Come!” His reign is present wherever we usher him in through faith, and we await the consummation of his reign in the fulfillment of time, when all things will be recapitulated in Christ (cf. 1 Cor 15:28, Rev 21:5).

     

  3. The Rule: Christ rules as a servant and a King. His kenosis, self-gift on the cross, revealed how he rules. The King of the Universe revealed who he is, taught in open places, and worked signs and wonders. But he did not force faith in him as the Messiah. He rules in humility and love, permitting his human subjects human freedom so that they can come of their own free will to receive the gift of redemption. The good thief experienced this gift firsthand. As a sinner, he submitted himself to the truth of who Jesus was and asked for forgiveness. Jesus did not withhold it: “Today you will be with me in paradise.” One of the first saints was made before our eyes by his free assent of faith in the power of the true King who rules in mercy.

Conversing with Christ: Lord Jesus, almighty and eternal King, reign in me. I praise you for your Kingship and beg you to grant that I may allow you to reign in my heart, so that I may give witness to your presence and action in this world.

Resolution: Lord, today by your grace I will celebrate and praise you for your glorious and triumphant reign.

November 24, 2025 – All She Had

25-11-24 DM
Memorial of Saint Andrew Dŭng-Lạc, Priest, and Companions, Martyrs

Luke 21:1-4

When Jesus looked up he saw some wealthy people putting their offerings into the treasury and he noticed a poor widow putting in two small coins. He said, “I tell you truly, this poor widow put in more than all the rest; for those others have all made offerings from their surplus wealth, but she, from her poverty, has offered her whole livelihood.”

Opening Prayer: Lord Jesus, make my heart more like yours, generous and magnanimous.

Encountering Christ:

  1. Jesus Notices: The Gospel passage today starts with Jesus “looking up.” Jesus notices. He noticed the rich people and what they put in the treasury. He noticed the poverty-stricken widow. He notices our external actions and our internal dispositions and intentions. This reality calls us to live under that gaze. We live under many “gazes”: the world’s standards, our friends, our families, our parents, our own ideals. But the only one that counts is that of Jesus. He sees the big picture of our lives—where we are and how we have come to the present moment. And he loves us abundantly.

     

  2. The Greatest Gift: Jesus mentioned that the poor widow put in “more” than any of the rich people. Is giving relative? In a sense it is. It is relative to the heart’s capacity. The greater the heart’s capacity, the greater the gift. How can we increase our heart’s capacity? By growing in a spirit of poverty. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus said, “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven” (Mt 5:3). The less we hold onto for ourselves, the more available we are to receive the gifts the Lord wants to give. And in return, all we have can be returned to the Lord or given in his name. We discover the greatest gifts in a spirit of poverty: the capacity to receive from God and freely give what was received.

     

  3. All She Had: Jesus said that the poor widow gave all she had. She held nothing back in her desire to be generous. She had a magnanimous heart. We rarely speak of the virtue of magnanimity. According to St. Thomas Aquinas, magnanimity helps a person achieve great and noble acts, like this woman who gave “all she had.” It requires great humility, recognizing that what one does and offers is due to God’s gifts. What gifts and riches do we possess? How can we be magnanimous by “giving all we have”?

Conversing with Christ: Lord Jesus, make my heart more like yours, poor of spirit and magnanimous. Thank you for the gifts that you give me. Help me be generous in offering them to others.

Resolution: Lord, today by your grace I will reflect on how you may call me to be magnanimous.

November 25, 2025 – Wake-Up Call

25-11-25 DM
Tuesday of the Thirty-Fourth Week in Ordinary Time

Luke 21:5-11

While some people were speaking about how the temple was adorned with costly stones and votive offerings, Jesus said, “All that you see here—the days will come when there will not be left a stone upon another stone that will not be thrown down.” Then they asked him, “Teacher, when will this happen? And what sign will there be when all these things are about to happen?” He answered, “See that you not be deceived, for many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and ‘The time has come.’ Do not follow them! When you hear of wars and insurrections, do not be terrified; for such things must happen first, but it will not immediately be the end.” Then he said to them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be powerful earthquakes, famines, and plagues from place to place; and awesome sights and mighty signs will come from the sky.”

Opening Prayer: Lord Jesus, increase my faith, hope, and love. May your Kingdom come in my heart, family, nation, and the world.

Encountering Christ:

  1. One More Reminder: In this last week of the liturgical year, we have revisited various passages used in the Church’s liturgy on previous Sundays as we approached the Solemnity of Christ the King. The Church is, in a certain sense, offering us a wake-up call. She is fostering a sense of realism and anticipation in our hearts. We are faced with the reality of the end-times. The daily news can easily cause us anxiety about a possible and impending doomsday. But the Good News offers a different reality. Jesus warns that despite wars and revolutions we are not to be afraid. The disciples would understand more fully only after the Resurrection, when Jesus proved that he is capable of triumphing over evil.

     

  2. Nation Against Nation: World history has taught us that the human heart can be treacherous and divisive. Since the beginning of time, man has sought to dominate and rule, many times, at the expense of a brother, sister, neighbor, friends, community, or nation. The dialectical tension points to a division in the heart of man that is not resolved merely by force or an overthrow of power. It requires a deep purification of memory, forgiveness of hurts, and a willingness to put aside greed, jealousy, and all the temptations that can entrap the ego.

     

  3. Awaiting a Sign: The longing for resolution points to a final battle still to come—the final consummation of Christ’s reign over all injustice. Witnessing natural and human-made disasters reminds us that we are still in need of Christ’s definitive Kingdom, which we access through our faith, hope, and love. This is possible only through the power of the Holy Spirit that makes present the redemptive victory of Christ in the world. The destruction of the Temple, brought about by a nation against another nation in the year 70 A.D, reminds us that a new order has been established. It is an order that requires human cooperation, but ultimately comes to fulfillment through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Conversing with Christ: Lord Jesus, grant me true peace amidst the chaos that exists in the world. May your Kingdom come and reign in my heart, in families, nations, and the world. Strengthen my hope in your triumph.

Resolution: Lord, today by your grace I will reflect on the areas in my life in which I need to exercise greater hope.

November 26, 2025 – Final Perseverance

25-11-26 DM

Wednesday of the Thirty-Fourth Week in Ordinary Time

Luke 21:12-19

Jesus said to the crowd: “They will seize and persecute you, they will hand you over to the synagogues and to prisons, and they will have you led before kings and governors because of my name. It will lead to your giving testimony. Remember, you are not to prepare your defense beforehand, for I myself shall give you a wisdom in speaking that all your adversaries will be powerless to resist or refute. You will even be handed over by parents, brothers, relatives, and friends, and they will put some of you to death. You will be hated by all because of my name, but not a hair on your head will be destroyed. By your perseverance you will secure your lives.”

Opening Prayer: Lord Jesus, grant me final perseverance.

Encountering Christ:

  1. Beforehand: Jesus warns that there is something more important to consider than the end-times. In other words, we are to concern ourselves with the present moment. There are trials and opportunities to attend to now. St. Teresa of Avila offers us a prayer for today:

    Let nothing trouble you,

    Let nothing frighten you,

    Everything passes,

    God does not change,

    Patience overcomes everything.

    Whoever loves God,

    lacks nothing.

    God alone is all we need.

  2. Trust in the Moment: Jesus gives interesting advice for how to live in the present moment. “You are not to prepare your defense beforehand.” We are to acknowledge that the spiritual life is a battle between good and evil. And we trust Jesus for our defense—for everything we need to give an authentic witness to our faith. Our faith is lived out moment by moment as we remind ourselves continually that Jesus is completely trustworthy.

     

  3. “Not a Hair on Your Head Will Be Destroyed”: We might lose our heads for the faith, but “not a hair on our heads will be destroyed.” This signifies that divine providence will be at work always for those who are steadfast in the faith. When we live in the present as a child of God, trusting in the goodness of the Father and the power of the Holy Spirit, we receive what we most need—the light of eternal salvation. Thus Jesus says, “By your perseverance you will secure your lives.” Our present actions, dispositions, and choices have consequences. To live one’s faith now prepares us for eternal life with Jesus.

Conversing with Christ: Lord Jesus, increase my faith and trust in you. You guide me by your providential hand. You send your Spirit to give me the words and the courage that I need to be a light in this world. Help me to persevere to the end with great and surrendered faith.

Resolution: Lord, today by your grace I will reflect on my daily perseverance in faith and resolve to renew one daily activity that will strengthen my faith in you.

For Further Reflection: Perseverance Produces Character.

November 27, 2025 – Raise Your Heads

25-11-27 DM
Thursday of the Thirty-Fourth Week in Ordinary Time

Luke 21:20-28

Jesus said to his disciples: “When you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, know that its desolation is at hand. Then those in Judea must flee to the mountains. Let those within the city escape from it, and let those in the countryside not enter the city, for these days are the time of punishment when all the Scriptures are fulfilled. Woe to pregnant women and nursing mothers in those days, for a terrible calamity will come upon the earth and a wrathful judgment upon this people. They will fall by the edge of the sword and be taken as captives to all the Gentiles; and Jerusalem will be trampled underfoot by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled. There will be signs in the sun, the moon, and the stars, and on earth nations will be in dismay, perplexed by the roaring of the sea and the waves. People will die of fright in anticipation of what is coming upon the world, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. But when these signs begin to happen, stand erect and raise your heads because your redemption is at hand.”

Opening Prayer: Lord Jesus, increase my faith, hope, and love for you, that I may stand boldly as a witness of your coming.

Encountering Christ:

  1. Signs: The early Christian community lived in heartfelt anticipation of Jesus’ second coming. His warnings and promises gave them strength to face a multitude of life-threatening persecution and trials. But these signs that Jesus described could be for our day as well. Does this mean we have missed his coming? Or that he was mistaken about his second coming? At present, we live this reality in mystery. The signs are present, which call us to a certain readiness in the living of our faith.

     

  2. People Will Die of Fright: According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the United States, affecting 19% of the population (over forty million people). Jesus mentioned that people would die of fright in anticipation of what is coming upon the world. Fear and anxiety are often provoked by the anticipation and belief that bad things are to come, and that life does not hold the happiness and meaning one desires. While fear is a normal, basic, and necessary human emotion, it requires evaluation in the light of faith. Our worst-case scenario, when objectively viewed in the light of God’s providential plan, can turn out to be a reason for hope.

     

  3. Stand Erect and Raise Your Heads: Jesus offers us a particular attitude we can take on in the face of the world’s chaos. “Stand erect and raise your heads.” The physical act of doing so can be a starting point for facing the daily trials that beset us. Furthermore, Jesus gives us an internal reason for doing so. “Your redemption is at hand.” He reminds us that our rescue is near. Wherever there is “war”—things to be feared—we raise our heads and hold steadfast in faith, awaiting the ultimate rescue.

Conversing with Christ: Lord Jesus, send your Spirit to give me courage amidst those things that I fear in daily life. Grant that I may hold up my head in faith and trust in your providence.

Resolution: Lord, today by your grace I will recognize the moments when pessimism leads me to fear. I will stand up, raise my head, and make an act of faith and trust in your providential love.

November 28, 2025 – The Lesson of the Fig Tree

25-11-28 DM

Friday of the Thirty-Fourth Week in Ordinary Time

Luke 21:29-33

Jesus told his disciples a parable. “Consider the fig tree and all the other trees. When their buds burst open, you see for yourselves and know that summer is now near; in the same way, when you see these things happening, know that the Kingdom of God is near. Amen, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have taken place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.”

Opening Prayer: Lord Jesus, increase my faith, trust, and love. Grant me true courage in the face of trials.

Encountering Christ:

  1. The Fig Tree: Figs are valuable for their sustenance in a land like Israel, where summers require that people carefully nourish themselves and hydrate to protect themselves from the heat. Jesus compared the coming of the Kingdom to the maturing of a fig tree. He seemed to be suggesting that, far from being a time of fear, the end-times will arrive at a time of blossoming and fullness. In the Bible, the fig tree appeared in the garden of Eden covering up the shame of Adam and Eve. In the midst of their sinfulness they found protection. Throughout sacred Scriptures, the fig tree symbolizes prosperity, well-being, and security. But these qualities are temporary, until the true protection offered by the Son of God comes.

     

  2. Heaven and Earth Will Pass Away: Jesus reminds us of the temporality and fleetingness of this life as he promises a new Heaven and a new earth. The Church teaches in the Catechism that “at the end of time, the Kingdom of God will come in its fullness. After the universal judgment, the righteous will reign for ever with Christ, glorified in body and soul. The universe itself will be renewed (CCC 1042). “Sacred Scripture calls this mysterious renewal, which will transform humanity and the world, ‘new heavens and a new earth.’ It will be the definitive realization of God’s plan to bring under a single head ‘all things in [Christ], things in Heaven and things on earth’” (CCC 1043).

     

  3. My Words Will Not Pass Away: Jesus offers us eternal food in his words. He is the eternal Word made flesh. In him and through him we enter into the heavenly Jerusalem. He is the gateway to the new universe, the new heavens and earth where God will dwell fully. Revelation 21:4 promises us that in the heavenly Jerusalem, “he will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there shall be no more death or mourning, wailing or pain, for the old order has passed away.”

Conversing with Christ: Lord Jesus, help me to be steadfast in the living of my faith and hope. I want to anticipate, not with fear but with joyful hope, the coming of the new heavens and earth. Grant that I may live fully in the present to make your Kingdom come here on earth as I await our final homeland.

Resolution: Lord, today by your grace I will reflect on how I live with a vision of the world to come. How does this affect my decisions and attitudes in my daily life?

November 29, 2025 – Watch Yourselves

25-11-29 DM
Saturday of the Thirty-Fourth Week in Ordinary Time

Luke 21:34-36

Jesus said to his disciples: “Beware that your hearts do not become drowsy from carousing and drunkenness and the anxieties of daily life, and that day catch you by surprise like a trap. For that day will assault everyone who lives on the face of the earth. Be vigilant at all times and pray that you have the strength to escape the tribulations that are imminent and to stand before the Son of Man.”

Opening Prayer: Lord Jesus, increase my faith, hope, and love. Help me to live my faith boldly and sagaciously.

Encountering Christ:

  1. Warning: The liturgy does not seem to let up on warning us of the end-times and what appears to be impending disaster and destruction. Jesus doesn’t hold back his words and say, “Do not worry. God loves all people. He will save them.” While we see all those three assertions in various parts of Scripture, we do not see them here together. Rather, the focus is on a sincere warning, like the prophets that cried out in the Old Testament to warn people of their destruction if they did not mend their ways. How are we to perceive this message? Do we take it as a warning from one who is sincerely concerned with our well-being, or do we receive it as a threat? Our concept of Jesus will determine how we receive these words.

     

  2. Watch Yourself: Jesus tells us to watch ourselves. How does his admonition resonate with us? Do we think this admonition is for everyone but ourselves? What does it tell us about the state of our relationship with the Lord? Without the vigilance Jesus recommends, our hearts will be coarsened. He wants to prevent us from falling into this trap. It is one thing to fall and get up again. It is another to have our hearts coarsened because we do not even keep watch over our spiritual well-being. We are called in this Gospel to greater vigilance against the enemy of our souls.

     

  3. Pray: The weapon against the traps of the devil is prayer. Prayer will be the means for strength to stand against the trials to come. Prayer will be the means to hold one’s ground before the Son of Man. The “Son of Man” refers to the prophecy of Daniel 7, in which the “son of man” is seated on the throne of judgment. Thus, prayer will help us to remain grounded in the truth and in God’s saving grace when we come face-to-face with the victor for our souls, Jesus Christ. We will have resisted the enemy who also sought to be victor over our souls.

Conversing with Christ: Lord Jesus, help me to keep watch over my heart and soul. Grant me insight to recognize the trap of the enemy and courage to shut the door on it.

Resolution: Lord, today by your grace I will do an examination of conscience to recognize the areas in my life in which I need to be more watchful and not fall into hardening my heart with sinful behaviors.

November 30, 2025 – He’s Coming

25-11-30 DM
First Sunday of Advent

Matthew 24:37-44

Jesus said to his disciples: “As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. In those days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day that Noah entered the ark. They did not know until the flood came and carried them all away. So will it be also at the coming of the Son of Man. Two men will be out in the field; one will be taken, and one will be left. Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken, and one will be left. Therefore, stay awake! For you do not know on which day your Lord will come. Be sure of this: if the master of the house had known the hour of night when the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and not let his house be broken into. So too, you also must be prepared, for at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come.”

Opening Prayer: Lord, I believe in your abiding presence, I hope in your boundless mercy, and I love you for who you are. Strengthen my faith, hope, and love, Lord, for you know how weak I am. Lord, grant me a spirit of watchfulness “until you come again.”

Encountering Christ:

  1. The Second Coming Reminds Us of the First: As we begin the Advent season, we prepare our hearts for Christ’s first coming at Christmas. However, the Church presents the Second Coming of Jesus to us through the readings in the first weeks of Advent. Why is that? So that we prepare our hearts for Christ’s coming, not just at Christmas, but at all times. He comes to us in the Eucharist at Mass and in our brothers and sisters, and one day he will come again in glory. What are the attitudes of my heart at the beginning of this Advent?

     

  2.  “The Son of Man Will Come…”: Every Sunday we pray in the Nicene Creed: “He will come again to judge the living and the dead…” Oftentimes we can pass over these words in haste, softening their full impact. We are saying that we truly believe that Jesus will return—at an unknown time, certainly, but that he will return. As I let those words sink in, do I really believe them? Would I be ready if Jesus were to come again tonight?

     

  3. Stay Awake!: Jesus’ admonition to stay awake should instantly remind us of his words to the disciples in the Garden of Gethsemane: “So you could not keep watch with me for one hour? Watch and pray that you may not undergo the test” (Mt 26:40-41). The disciples had no idea that Jesus was about to be taken from them, even though he prophesied it at the Last Supper. In much the same way, our own “rapture” will be sudden: “…one will be taken, and one will be left.” By availing myself of the sacraments, especially Reconciliation, I am preparing myself for the moment that the Lord calls me.

Conversing with Christ: Lord, I want to be ready for your coming—not just at Christmas, but at all times. Grant me the grace to “stay awake,” even if the busy holiday season distracts me or wears me down and I grow weary.

Resolution: Lord, today by your grace I will spend a few minutes examining my conscience before going to bed.

For Further Reflection: For help with examination of conscience, pick the one that works for you, courtesy of the USCCB.
