We have the Perfect Leader in Christ the King, Sermon by Fr. Paul Robinson, SSPX

19 minutes

We must make this effort today: to set aside revolutionary man and give way to redeemed man. We must somehow put away the atmosphere of our modern world, so that we can joyfully proclaim Our Lord Jesus Christ as our King. How do we do this?
We do it first of all by hating the revolution because it gives us terrible leaders. The revolution has destroyed leaders by destroying authority and it has left us very unsatisfied. Deep down, we all desire to have clear and firm direction. The revolution can destroy kings, but it cannot destroy our nature. Our nature pines after good leaders.
Then, we must realize that Our Lord is the perfect leader. He will not compromise our happiness for any reason whatsoever; He will always do what is most perfect for our good. He will always stand by the truth.
And He is a King. A King rules for life; his office is not a job, it is a way of life. It is not for four years or six years; it is for life. How tired we become of the constant swings of power in our democratic nations. One party institutes policies that they like and we may like them as well. Then another party comes into power and everything is overturned.
But this is not the way it is for Our Lord. How many times does Scripture not say that His reign is forever? How many times do we repeat in the Mass “Through Our Lord Jesus Christ Who lives and reigns with thee forever and ever?” He cannot be thrown out of office! The Allelluia of today’s Mass says that Our Lord’s kingdom will never be corrupted. It will never fall.
We have a perfect leader who has all power and reigns forever. What a blessing! What a joy!
