Christ The King of
The Universe
(Last Sunday in
ordinary Time-Year C)
A. Introduction to the Holy Mass
Dear
Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
Good
morning!
As
the liturgical year comes to an end this Sunday, the Church honors Our Lord
Jesus Christ as the King to Whom the universe bowing down worships with praise,
glory, and love. He is the Savior Who by
His Blood freed humanity from sin and death.
He is the Master of history Who with divine power brings God’s creation
to its fullness. He is the merciful
Judge Who will come to grant believers eternal life.
Kindly
all stand to sing the entrance hymn.
B. Introduction tho the Readings
a) First Reading 2 Sm 5:1-3
King
David was anointed by the Lord God to be leader of Israel, the Chosen People,
not to dominate but take care of them in the role of a shepherd. This picture of Christian leadership becomes
clearer when Christ tells His audience that He has come not to be served but to
serve people and offer His life for them.
b) Second Reading Col 1:12-20
Unlike
rulers of the world who come to power through violence and the sword want their
subjects to pay them back for the hardship which the former might have
suffered, Christ reigns with love for all over humankind and creation which He
has conquered through the sacrifice of His life.
