What does it mean that Christ is King when His kingdom operates on completely different principles than any earthly reign? This reflection on the Feast of Christ the King from the Traditional Latin Mass explores the radical nature of Christ's kingship—a reign built not on force but on truth and self-giving love. Drawing from the Gospel encounter between Jesus and Pilate, Saint Paul's letter to the Colossians, and the wisdom of Saints Augustine, Joan of Arc, and Francis of Assisi, this meditation challenges us to examine who truly sits on the throne of our hearts. Perfect for families and listeners of all ages, this reflection presents the demanding yet beautiful call to crown Christ as King over every aspect of our lives—not just in word, but in the daily choices that reveal our true allegiance. Discover how submitting to His reign doesn't diminish us but makes us more fully alive, more fully the person God created us to be.
