Novena to Christ the King Day 1 | A Kingdom that is Not of This World

Regnum Christi News

℣. Come, let us worship Jesus Christ, the King of kings.

 

℟. Come, let us worship Jesus Christ, the King of kings.

 

℣. The Lord’s is the earth and its fullness, the world and all that is in it. It is he who set it on the seas; on the waters he made it firm.

 

℟. Come, let us worship Jesus Christ, the King of kings.

 

A Kingdom that is not of this world, but is in this world created by God.

 

Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would be fighting so that I would not be handed over to the Jews; but as it is, My kingdom is not of this realm.” Therefore Pilate said to Him, “So You are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say correctly that I am a king. For this purpose I have been born, and for this I have come into the world: to testify to the truth.

John 18:36-37

(moment of silence)

 

Reflection

Christ’s Kingdom is “consecrated in the truth,” and Christ invites us to go beyond human logic and securities to live according to the logic of the Kingdom. By living in truth, we are able to live with the faith, joy, peace, and trust that come only from him. He invites us to collaborate with him creatively in the mission of making him present in this world that he has created, that he saw was good, in which he invites us to discover the redeeming power of his love to make him present by going out to meet the needs of others.

 

Concluding Prayer

℣. Let us pray:

Lord Jesus, guide us along your way so that we may be faithful to our identity and charism, becoming witnesses to the life of the Kingdom that you desire for us and that is already present among us because it is you yourself, and you are alive. Through Christ our Lord.

℟. Amen.                                                                                                                                                 

℣. Christ, ruling with truth and integrity,

℟. Thy Kingdom Come!
