This Sunday is the feast of Christ the King: A Kingdom of Love and Mercy
Christ The King Icon
In this icon, Christ sits enthroned, raising His hand in blessing and holding the Gospel. His throne expresses His kingship, while the cross in His halo reminds us that His glory is inseparable from His sacrifice. The figures beside Him stand in reverence, directing our attention toward the Lord.
The Feast of Christ the King, established by Pope Pius XI in 1925, celebrates Jesus as Lord of all creation. His kingdom is one of truth, justice, love, and peace. This Sunday’s Gospel reminds us how we welcome His reign into our lives: by recognizing and serving Him in the hungry, the stranger, the sick, and all who need our care.
