Preaching for the Solemnity of Christ the King, Krisanne Vaillancourt Murphy offers a reflection on the character of God's Reign we are called to co-create: "In this final hour on Calvary, we see a radically different kind of kingship than the world elevates. God’s reign is not self-serving, or seeking retribution. Nor does it portend a death-dealing system intent on punishment. No. Instead, Jesus offers a paradise of mercy that extends even to those whom we may not think deserve it."Krisanne Vaillancourt Murphy serves as the executive director of Catholic Mobilizing Network (CMN), the national organization working to end the death penalty, advance justice, and begin healing through the practices of restorative justice. She has a Masters in Theology degree from Boston College (formerly Weston Jesuit School of Theology in Cambridge, Massachusetts).Visit www.catholicwomenpreach.org/preaching/11232025 to learn more about Krisanne and CMN, to read her preaching text, and for more preaching from Catholic women.
