And what sign will there be when all these things are about to happen?\u201d He answered, \u201cSee that you not be deceived, for many will come in my name, saying, \u2018I am he,\u2019 and \u2018The time has come.\u2019 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.\u201d Then he said to them, \u201cNation 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. Before all this happens, however, 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Opening Prayer:<\/strong> Lord Jesus, increase my faith, and may your Kingdom come in my heart and in the world.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Encountering Christ:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>The Temple:<\/strong> It is an impressive sight to stand before the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem and witness the weeping of Jews who long for the return of their Temple. It was once the centrality of their faith. But the Wailing Wall is merely the extant retaining wall, built about two thousand years ago to sustain the Temple\u2019s large esplanade. Jesus prophesied the destruction of the Temple that would occur some forty years after his crucifixion. It would be the end of the practice of sacrificial worship for Jews who joined in the establishment of the Christian sacrifice of worship. With such a radical change in their future, Jesus warned them to not put their trust in those who proclaimed to be the Messiah. He said that their stance should be one of perseverance.\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Trials of Faith: <\/strong>Jesus also prophesied the trials that his disciples would undergo for the sake of their faith. Their profession would not be mere lip service, but a living and active testimony that required facing the ultimate test. They would be given what was most necessary for their defense. Would it be a defense that saved their physical lives? No, because we know that most of them died a martyr\u2019s death. But \u201cnot a hair of their head\u201d would be lost. Echoing 1 Samuel 14:45, Matthew 10:30, and Luke 12:7, this expression signifies that God\u2019s special providence would be with them. They would be given the wisdom and words needed, not to save their lives, but to profess their faith and propel them into eternal life.\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Perseverance:<\/strong> Jesus spoke once again of the importance of perseverance in these lines of the Gospel. This time he told his disciples that perseverance would save their lives. Through the centuries, Christians have prayed for final perseverance, the greatest gift one could ask for. The martyrs throughout the centuries have testified to the importance of this gift. Faced with the extinction of their earthly existence, they held onto hope and the conviction that their faith would win them eternal life, and it did.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Conversing with Christ:<\/strong> Lord Jesus, grant me the gift of final perseverance. Increase my faith that I may be a witness to you in every circumstance, not fearing losing my life, esteem, or the human respect of others, as long as I can live more fully in your Kingdom.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Resolution:<\/strong> Lord, today by your grace I will reflect on which situations in my life call for courage and perseverance in giving witness to my faith.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For Further Reflection:<\/strong> Bishop Barron on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=a-6VOqcdswM\">Pope Benedict as a Witness of God<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/rcspirituality.org\/novena\/nine-days-to-christ-the-king-a-meditation-novena\/ctk-day-3\/\">Nine Days to Christ the King Novena, Day 3<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Jennifer Ristine is a <a href=\"https:\/\/consecratedwomen.org\/\">consecrated woman of Regnum Christi<\/a> dedicated to spiritual and faith formation through teaching, conferences, writing, and spiritual direction.

They told him, \u201cJesus of Nazareth is passing by.\u201d He shouted, \u201cJesus, Son of David, have pity on me!\u201d The people walking in front rebuked him, telling him to be silent, but he kept calling out all the more, \u201cSon of David, have pity on me!\u201d Then Jesus stopped and ordered that he be brought to him; and when he came near, Jesus asked him, \u201cWhat do you want me to do for you?\u201d He replied, \u201cLord, please let me see.\u201d Jesus told him, \u201cHave sight; your faith has saved you.\u201d He immediately received his sight and followed him, giving glory to God. When they saw this, all the people gave praise to God.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Opening Prayer:<\/strong> Lord Jesus, increase my faith, and may your Kingdom come in my heart and in the world.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Encountering Christ:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Son of David:<\/strong> The blind man cried out, \u201cSon of David.\u201d This title is full of literal and theological significance and reveals faith in Jesus\u2019 identity as the Messiah. Ironically, the blind man who cried out had better vision than those around him. His use of the \u201cSon of David\u201d had a prophetic significance. It alluded to the fulfillment of the prophecy that the Messiah would descend from the line of David. From a theological perspective, God promised David that his throne would be established forever (cf. 2 Sam 7:15-16), which came to fulfillment in God\u2019s son, Jesus. Whereas David served as a great temporal king, his \u201cSon,\u201d the Messiah, would be established as the definitive eternal King of God\u2019s Kingdom. He would reign forever. Never underestimate the vision of the apparently blind!\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Advocate:<\/strong> The blind man also perceived that Jesus was able to cure his ailment. As the son of David, Jesus is also King. In Jesus\u2019 time, if men were good kings, their reign was one of service, advocating for the helpless. The blind man appeared to have blind faith in the good heart of Jesus. He was so convinced he would be heard that he shouted all the louder, \u201cSon of David, have pity on me.\u201d When we pray to God, from what conviction does that cry come? Are we convinced that we are in need of healing? Are we convinced that he truly reigns, with the power of an advocate?\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Proper Response:<\/strong> Jesus responded to the convicted faith of the blind man. He already knew the heart of this man, yet he asked, \u201cWhat do you want me to do for you?\u201d Jesus desires us to ask as well. He wants to respect our freedom, but he wants to enter into the depth of our reality\u2014sinful, needy, hungry, thirsty, ill, blind. The blind man stated what he wanted, and Jesus\u2019 words were fulfilled: \u201cReceive your sight. Your faith has saved you.\u201d The Greek word used for \u201csaved\u201d is <em>sosoken<\/em>. It can signify to save, heal, preserve, rescue, deliver, or protect. Faith won this man a more profound grace than physical sight. His response to the gift was to praise God. Let that be our response as well.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Conversing with Christ:<\/strong> Lord Jesus, I praise you for the wonders you work in my life and the lives of so many. Just one act of faith wins for us a multitude of grace. The greatest grace is salvation, to be delivered from the deepest ailment, which is sin. Help me to recognize my need for you and to rejoice in your goodness in my life and the lives of others who come to know and follow you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Resolution:<\/strong> Lord, today by your grace I will reflect on the areas in my life that truly make me blind, blind to how you would like to heal me more fully. I will praise you for the gifts you shower on me and others as a response to faith.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For Further Reflection: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=_00PM3bdCME\">Jesus, Healing of the Blind Beggar, Bartimaeus<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/novena-to-christ-the-king-2025\/#:~:text=Pray%20the%20Novena\">Nine Days to Christ the King Novena, Day 4.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Jennifer Ristine is a <a href=\"https:\/\/consecratedwomen.org\/\">consecrated woman of Regnum Christi<\/a> dedicated to spiritual and faith formation through teaching, conferences, writing, and spiritual direction.

Now a man there named Zacchaeus, who was a chief tax collector and also a wealthy man,\u00a0was seeking to see who Jesus was; but he could not see him because of the crowd, for he was short in stature.\u00a0So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore tree in order to see Jesus, who was about to pass that way. When he reached the place, Jesus looked up and said,\u00a0\u201cZacchaeus, come down quickly, for today I must stay at your house.\u201d\u00a0And he came down quickly and received him with joy.\u00a0When they saw this, they began to grumble, saying,\u00a0\u201cHe has gone to stay at the house of a sinner.\u201d\u00a0But Zacchaeus stood there and said to the Lord, \u201cBehold, half of my possessions, Lord, I shall give to the poor, and if I have extorted anything from anyone I shall repay it four times over.\u201d And Jesus said to him, \u201cToday salvation has come to this house because this man too is a descendant of Abraham. For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save what was lost.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Opening Prayer:<\/strong> Lord Jesus, increase my faith, and may your Kingdom come in my heart and in the world.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Encountering Christ:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Suddenly:<\/strong> Today\u2019s Gospel begins by telling us that Zacchaeus suddenly appeared on Jesus\u2019 radar: \u201cHe ran ahead and climbed a sycamore tree in order to see Jesus.\u201d While it may have seemed like it was sudden, Jesus was prepared for this encounter. Perhaps he even anticipated this encounter with great joy. Jesus told him, \u201cCome down quickly, for today I must stay at your house.\u201d It was a sudden surprise for his Apostles and even for Zacchaeus, but not for Jesus, who desired a familial and friendly encounter with an apparent sinner, a tax collector. As in the case of Zacchaeus, Jesus can surprise us suddenly. In his divine providence, he is always looking out for opportunities to come to our house.\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Best Vantage Point:<\/strong> This passage leaves us room to imagine the interior state of Zacchaeus. The evangelist tells us that \u201cran ahead and climbed a sycamore tree in order to see Jesus, who was about to pass that way.\u201d What caused this? What had he heard about Jesus beforehand? Perhaps he had been anticipating Jesus\u2019 arrival. Being a Jew, perhaps a spark of hope was ignited in him, fueled by memories of his parents and grandparents\u2019 faith in the coming of a Messiah. Something interiorly moved him to seek the best vantage point. Just a glimpse of Jesus would be enough for him. His handicap of being too short was converted into an advantage that kindled devotion, and he acted upon it. He was perhaps better prepared to meet the Lord because of it.\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Encounter:<\/strong> When Zacchaeus was accused of being a sinner, he defended himself. He shared with Jesus how he had tried to be a righteous person. Jesus\u2019 response was to profess that salvation had come to his house. Jesus brings salvation. We must anticipate, desire, and open the door of our house to him. What a great gift Zacchaeus had \u201csuddenly\u201d received. A history of two thousand years, since the time of Abraham, had prepared the way for this encounter. Jesus professed to all who heard, \u201cThis man too is a descendant of Abraham. For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save what was lost.\u201d In this encounter, a sinner was saved, a son of the chosen people, to be light for others.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Conversing with Christ:<\/strong> Lord Jesus, thank you for the ways in which you come to my rescue. You seek me out when I am lost. Enkindle in me the desire to anticipate your coming and to open the way for you. Thank you for your mercy and goodness.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Resolution:<\/strong> Lord, today by your grace I will reflect on the ways in which divine providence has enkindled faith and hope in my life.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For Further Reflection:<\/strong> <u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/novena-to-christ-the-king-2025\/#:~:text=Pray%20the%20Novena\">Nine Days to Christ the King Novena, Day 5.<\/a><\/u><\/p>\n<p>Jennifer Ristine is a <a href=\"https:\/\/consecratedwomen.org\/\">consecrated woman of Regnum Christi<\/a> dedicated to spiritual and faith formation through teaching, conferences, writing, and spiritual direction.

He called ten of his servants and gave them ten gold coins and told them, \u2018Engage in trade with these until I return.\u2019 His fellow citizens, however, despised him and sent a delegation after him to announce, \u2018We do not want this man to be our king.\u2019 But when he returned after obtaining the kingship, he had the servants called, to whom he had given the money, to learn what they had gained by trading. The first came forward and said, \u2018Sir, your gold coin has earned ten additional ones.\u2019 He replied, \u2018Well done, good servant! You have been faithful in this very small matter; take charge of ten cities.\u2019 Then the second came and reported, \u2018Your gold coin, sir, has earned five more.\u2019 And to this servant too he said, \u2018You, take charge of five cities.\u2019 Then the other servant came and said, \u2018Sir, here is your gold coin; I kept it stored away in a handkerchief, for I was afraid of you, because you are a demanding man; you take up what you did not lay down and you harvest what you did not plant.\u2019 He said to him, \u2018With your own words I shall condemn you, you wicked servant. You knew I was a demanding man, taking up what I did not lay down and harvesting what I did not plant; why did you not put my money in a bank? Then on my return I would have collected it with interest.\u2019 And to those standing by he said, \u2018Take the gold coin from him and give it to the servant who has ten.\u2019 But they said to him, \u2018Sir, he has ten gold coins.\u2019 He replied, \u2018I tell you, to everyone who has, more will be given, but from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away. Now as for those enemies of mine who did not want me as their king, bring them here and slay them before me.\u2019\u201d After he had said this, he proceeded on his journey up to Jerusalem.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Opening Prayer:<\/strong> Lord Jesus, increase my faith. Grant that I may participate more fully in building your Kingdom in my heart, home, and society.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Encountering Christ:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Which King to Serve?:<\/strong> In this parable, the disposition of the appointed king\u2019s compatriots was one of rejection, disdain, and pride. They could not accept that this man of noble birth from a foreign country would rule over them. Pride blinded them to the possibilities of participating in the development of their own kingdom. But if they did not serve this new king, who would they serve? Themselves? This is the question we should ask ourselves: Which king do I serve? The \u201ctemporal king\u201d who may promise immediate gratification, or an eternal King who invites a privileged participation in the building of his Kingdom?\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Investment:<\/strong> Notice how the king offered ten servants a quantity of money to invest while he was away. His command was simple, \u201cEngage in trade with these until I return.\u201d It was not even their own money. That is stewardship. We need to recognize that all we receive is a gift to be invested in building up the Kingdom of God. What is the attitude of our heart in relation to our possessions? Do we receive and give them as gifts to be wisely used for an intentional purpose? Do we hoard anything out of fear of losing it? Do we gratefully recognize that we are stewards of all that we possess and thus joyfully participate in the great task of the King to reign over all with charity and mercy? In the end, stewardship is rewarded justly.\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Going Up to Jerusalem:<\/strong> After Jesus spoke these words, he went up to Jerusalem. \u201cUp\u201d is both a literal and figurative movement. To get to Jerusalem, from whichever direction you enter, you have to go up due to the city\u2019s altitude. But figuratively, Jesus also went up in the sense of moving toward the Father\u2019s will. He was a steward of a Kingdom, and his investment was to be his life. He set his face toward that destiny and intentionally went to meet it. His full participation in the life and desire of the Father brought about a true establishment of the eternal Kingdom here on earth.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Conversing with Christ:<\/strong> Lord Jesus, may your Kingdom come through my collaboration in the gifts with which you bless me.

For the days are coming upon you when your enemies will raise a palisade against you; they will encircle you and hem you in on all sides. They will smash you to the ground and your children within you, and they will not leave one stone upon another within you because you did not recognize the time of your visitation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Opening Prayer:<\/strong> Lord Jesus, increase my faith that I may witness to your love in the world so many others will know, love, and follow you and discover the peace that only you offer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Encountering Christ:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Jesus Wept:<\/strong> Luke\u2019s Gospel places the lament over Jerusalem after Jesus\u2019 triumphant and regal entry into the city as a sign of his messianic kingship. He revealed himself in humility, aware that his Kingship would bear fruit not in human glory, but in human ignominy. But even among those in the crowd who praised and exalted him, who honored and flattered him with the waving of branches and laying down of their cloaks, were those who would soon cry out for his crucifixion, betraying him. Of those, some would repent and others would not. Jesus wept for them. In his humanity he felt the weight of rejection. But it was not rejection that he experienced due to the desire to preserve his human respect. His divine heart was pierced with sorrow as he felt the weight of damnation for those who would be lost. Does Jesus weep today? Do we weep with Jesus as a means to intercede that not one be lost?\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>\u201cWhat Makes for Peace\u201d:<\/strong> Today, on a hill of the Mount of Olives outside the old city of Jerusalem, you can visit a modern church, architecturally designed in the form of a tear. It is called \u201cDominus Flevit,\u201d meaning \u201cThe Lord wept.\u201d It commemorates the moment when Jesus wept as he stood looking upon the great city of Jerusalem, conquered by King David around the year 1000 BC. David\u2019s son Solomon built a Temple to honor the Lord. While Jesus wept, he looked upon the city of Jerusalem and the Temple that stood as a sign of people\u2019s faith and devotion through worship to the one true God. The name Jerusalem literally means \u201ccity of peace.\u201d Jesus foresaw that the key to their peace was hidden from their eyes. Two thousand years later, it continues to be a place of conflict, as Jesus weeps for those who still have not found true peace that only salvation in the Lord can give. In our own lives, when we cannot find peace, let us examine our hearts to discover if Jesus, the Prince of Peace, is hidden from our eyes and, if so, what obstructs the view.\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>They Will Not Leave One Stone Upon Another:<\/strong> Jesus prophesied the destruction of the Temple. Even today, archaeologists have discovered stones that could be the platform upon which the Temple stood, but there are no remains of the great Temple itself, destroyed by the Romans in the year 70 AD. But like so many things that he said, there is a literal and a spiritual significance to Jesus\u2019 prophecy. The ultimate destruction of peace is lack of faith in the One who offers us eternal peace. Let us pray for our own faith and the faith of those with whom we have contact every day, that we will build a solid foundation that cannot be torn down, no matter what enemies attempt to besiege it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Conversing with Christ:<\/strong> Lord Jesus, have mercy on me, a sinner.

The chief priests, the scribes, and the leaders of the people, meanwhile, were seeking to put him to death, but they could find no way to accomplish their purpose because all the people were hanging on his words.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Opening Prayer:<\/strong> Lord Jesus, increase my faith in you. Grant that I may not treat your house of prayer like a bandit\u2019s den, but rather a place of true worship.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Encountering Christ:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>A Brief History:<\/strong> Long before King Solomon had built the Temple, God had instructed the people to construct a Tent of Meeting to hold the Ark of the Covenant. According to tradition, the Ark contained two stone tablets of the Ten Commandments, Aaron\u2019s rod, and a pot of manna. The Ten Commandments are God\u2019s spoken law engraved in stone. Aaron\u2019s rod represents the fruitfulness of the tribe of Levi, the tribe dedicated exclusively to the priesthood. The manna is the bread that came down from Heaven to sustain the Israelites in their forty years of wandering the desert when they fled slavery from Egypt around the 13<sup>th<\/sup> century BC. All this is a reminder of the covenant that God established with his chosen people, to preserve true worship so as to be a light for the nations. Three centuries later, King Solomon would finally build a permanent home for the Ark\u2014the Temple.\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>A House of Prayer: <\/strong>As we have seen on previous days, the Temple was the central place of worship for the Jewish people. But above all, it was a place where souls could go to be sure that their heartfelt prayer to God would be heard. Upon installing the Ark in the Holy of Holies, King Solomon, by his testimony of prayer, revealed the Temple as a place of heartfelt prayer to God, that he may continue to dwell among them (1 Kgs 8:27-30):\n<p><em>\u201c<\/em><em>Is God indeed to dwell on earth? If the heavens and the highest heavens cannot contain you, how much less this house which I have built! Regard kindly the prayer and petition of your servant, Lord, my God, and listen to the cry of supplication which I, your servant, utter before you this day. May your eyes be open night and day toward this house, the place of which you said, My name shall be there; listen to the prayer your servant makes toward this place. Listen to the petition of your servant and of your people Israel which they offer toward this place. Listen, from the place of your enthronement, heaven, listen and forgive<\/em><em>.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>All the People Were Hanging on His Words: <\/strong>Jesus saw how the house of the Father was being abused. Its use was being thwarted, and when Jesus corrected those who detracted from its purpose, they wanted to lash out and \u201cput him to death.\u201d But animosity cannot thwart the purpose for which God comes to dwell among us. Thanks to his redemptive death, the Holy Spirit established the Church where God\u2019s presence dwells among us through his true Presence, the \u201cmanna\u201d come down from Heaven. This is thanks to the new priesthood instituted by Christ himself. He also dwells among us in his word proclaimed in the holy liturgy. We gather in the temple of the Church to worship and to \u201chang onto\u201d Jesus\u2019 word so that he continues to dwell among us through faith and in grace. By this testimony, all nations will know that Jesus is Lord.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Conversing with Christ:<\/strong> Lord Jesus, you dwell among us in your Eucharist and your word. Send your Spirit to increase our faith in you. Hear our prayer as we cry out for those who do not believe in you. May our faith, prayer, and worship be a testimony for all nations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Resolution:<\/strong> Lord, today by your grace I will reflect on my participation in the Church\u2019s mission of prayer for the salvation of all nations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For Further Reflection:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=jrGW5G8QqQ4\">What Constitutes a Practicing Catholic?<\/a> by Fr.

the first married a woman but died childless. Then the second and the third married her, and likewise all the seven died childless. Finally the woman also died. Now at the resurrection whose wife will that woman be? For all seven had been married to her.\u201d Jesus said to them, \u201cThe children of this age marry and remarry; but those who are deemed worthy to attain to the coming age and to the resurrection of the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage. They can no longer die, for they are like angels; and they are the children of God because they are the ones who will rise. That the dead will rise even Moses made known in the passage about the bush, when he called \u2018Lord\u2019 the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob; and he is not God of the dead, but of the living, for to him all are alive.\u201d Some of the scribes said in reply, \u201cTeacher, you have answered well.\u201d And they no longer dared to ask him anything.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Opening Prayer:<\/strong> Lord Jesus, increase my faith in the eternal inheritance that you won for me.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Encountering Christ:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Moses Prescribed for Us:<\/strong> The Sadducees took as their authority Moses\u2019 law and prescriptions. Those served their purpose for a time. But Jesus has a broader vision, one that spanned from the creation of the world into eternity. As he said in Matthew 5:17, he came not to abolish the law but to fulfill it. Jesus came as the mediator of a New Covenant: \u201cSince a death has taken place for deliverance from transgressions under the first covenant, those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance\u201d (Heb 9:15). Moses reminded the people of the natural law (that which is inscribed in their hearts) as well as made prescriptions based on their hardened hearts and sinful ways. But Jesus came to offer redemptive grace so we may live here on earth in the New Covenant of grace.\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Already, But Not Yet: <\/strong>How do we enter into our inheritance? The door to the possibility is Jesus Christ, the mediator of the New Covenant. By baptism we become children of God and heirs to his Kingdom. We are called to exercise our faith and \u201creceive our daily bread\u201d through the grace that the Church, Christ\u2019s Mystical Body, offers us in our pilgrimage towards our heavenly homeland. In grace we already possess the inheritance won for us by Christ\u2019s redemptive sacrifice on the cross. In hope, we await the final \u201cportion,\u201d so to speak, or consummation of this inheritance in the resurrection of the body.\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>They Did Not Dare: <\/strong>Aren\u2019t we encouraged to ask questions so as to learn and discover more about our faith? So why did they not dare to ask questions? Perhaps because the answers would challenge them to turn from their old law to a new way of faith. This can be scary. Changing our ways of perceiving reality requires a death to our former self. It demands humility to recognize that one\u2019s paradigmatic vision of the world may have been wrongly formed. Sometimes the Holy Spirit desires to shake us up, breaking down our old foundations in order to build up something new and true.

As they approached to offer him wine they called out, \u201cIf you are King of the Jews, save yourself.\u201d Above him there was an inscription that read, \u201cThis is the King of the Jews.\u201d Now one of the criminals hanging there reviled Jesus, saying, \u201cAre you not the Christ? Save yourself and us.\u201d The other, however, rebuking him, said in reply, \u201cHave 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.\u201d Then he said, \u201cJesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.\u201d He replied to him, \u201cAmen, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Opening Prayer:<\/strong> Lord Jesus, you are my King. Grant that your Kingdom will come into my heart more fully every day. Reign in my heart!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Encountering Christ:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>The Throne: <\/strong>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\u2019s 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.\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Reign: <\/strong>The Psalms have alluded to God\u2019s reign since the beginning of creation. \u201cThe Lord\u00a0has set his throne in heaven; his dominion extends over all\u201d (Ps 103:19). The Christological hymn of Philippians 2:5-11 reveals Jesus\u2019 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\u2019s reign is present wherever Christ is present, through grace. For this reason we pray, \u201cThy Kingdom Come!\u201d 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).\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Rule:<\/strong> Christ rules as a servant and a King. His <em>kenosis<\/em>, 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: \u201cToday you will be with me in paradise.\u201d 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.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Conversing with Christ:<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Resolution:<\/strong> Lord, today by your grace I will celebrate and praise you for your glorious and triumphant reign.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For Further Reflection:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Gbym9pajGhw,\">Kingdom Come\/\/RC Music Collective<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=nQWFzMvCfLE\">What a Beautiful Name by Hillsong<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Jennifer Ristine is a <a href=\"https:\/\/consecratedwomen.org\/\">consecrated woman of Regnum Christi<\/a> dedicated to spiritual and faith formation through teaching, conferences, writing, and spiritual direction.
