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 of those who do not seek to be served, but to serve

 

But Jesus called them to him and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones are tyrants over them. It will not be so among you; but whoever wishes to be great among you must be your servant, and whoever wishes to be first among you must be your slave; just as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.”

Matthew 20:25-28

(moment of silence)

 

Reflection

In the Kingdom of Christ, to serve is to reign. Christ constantly showed his disciples, through his ministry and preaching, that he is introducing a new vision of the world with his love at its center. This is the radicality of the Gospel: “I was hungry and you gave me something to eat (cf. Mt. 25:35-40).

 

Concluding Prayer

℣. Let us pray:

Lord Jesus, in calling us to make your Kingdom present, you who are the Kingdom incarnate have called us to serve each person you place in our lives; grant us the generosity and humility to give of ourselves, making you present in every encounter, even if at times the mission is difficult or our service goes unnoticed, certain that we are pleasing to you. Give us the experience of your love and that you are here, with each one of us, with us. Through Christ our Lord.

℟. Amen.                                                                                                                                                 

℣. Christ, reigning in service,

℟. Thy Kingdom Come!
