Join Fr. Aaron & Marissa Burt for this week's episode, in which they consider the readings for Christ the King Sunday 11/20-11/26: Jeremiah 23:16; Psalm 46; Colossians 1:11-20; Luke 23:35-43.

They discuss the prophetic condemnation of unjust and exploitative shepherds, the promise for a righteous and saving Messianic judge, the magnitude of the Incarnation and God's fullness embodied in Jesus, and the evergreen human impulse to make Jesus into the King we think He should be.

You are not here to verify,/ Instruct yourself, or inform curiosity/ Or carry report. You are here to kneel/ Where prayer has been valid. And prayer is more/ Than an order of words, the conscious occupation/ Of the praying mind, or the sound of the voice praying. From TS Eliot's "Little Gidding"

Our outro music is an original song by our friend Dcn. Jeremiah Webster, a poet and professor whose giftedness is rivaled by his humbleness. You can find his published works, including After So Many Fires, with a quick Google.
