Novena to Christ the King Day 2 | A Kingdom that is Not Passive

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 passive, that takes the initiative to love.

 

“Everyone therefore who acknowledges me before others, I also will acknowledge before my Father in heaven; but whoever denies me before others, I also will deny before my Father in heaven. “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.”

Matthew 10:32-34

(moment of silence)

 

Reflection

“It is not that Jesus wishes to split people up. On the contrary Jesus is our peace, he is our reconciliation. (…) This word of the Gospel does not therefore authorize the use of force to spread the faith. It is exactly the opposite: the Christian’s real force is the force of truth and of love, which involves renouncing all forms of violence. Faith and violence are incompatible! Instead, faith and strength go together. Christians are not violent; they are strong. And with what kind of strength? That of meekness, the strength of meekness, the strength of love” (Pope Francis, Angelus, August 18, 2013).

 

Concluding Prayer

℣. Let us pray:

Lord Jesus, take us away from the fears that divide us and separate us from our brothers and sisters, give us the courage to move forward, the inspiration, peace and generosity of the Holy Spirit to make your love present, you who are the Kingdom incarnate. Through Christ our Lord.

℟. Amen.                                                                                                                                                 

℣. Christ, reigning with your zeal for souls,

℟. Thy Kingdom Come!
