SUNDAY MASS REFLECTION

SUNDAY OF THE 34TH WEEK
SOLEMNITY OF CHRIST THE KING

: 3 3 - 3
Today's scripture passage comes from the Gospel of John 18:33b-37. We
read about Jesus' kingdom being declared in the midst of our Lord's
discussion with Pilate. This text reveals some crucial details about what it
means to be the Lord's devoted and obedient disciple. The fact is that God is
love, and he so loves the world he created that he sent his Son to rescue it. I
consider how important truth is to me and how devoted I am to finding it
and living by it. I pray for the ability to hear and seek out his voice. Disciples
must have the faith integrity to not only hear our Lord's voice but also to
follow Him by living a life that is consistent with His teaching.

If we choose humility over

arrogance, if we choose to serve
rather than be served if we choose
forgiveness over hatred, and if we
choose to give our life so that others
may live. Truly, the kingship of Jesus
does not belong to this world
because it contradicts worldly
kingship. This is why Jesus wanted to
serve, not serve. He chose humility
over arrogance. And he preferred
forgiveness over hatred.
