    The Servant King

    Jesus came to
    establish an eternal
    kingdom which is
    founded on love
    and gives peace,
    freedom, and
    fullness of life.

    Pope Francis 2020

    Christ the King


    Christ the King Sunday celebrates Christ
    as King and Lord of the universe.
    This Feast Day is celebrated on the final
    Sunday of Ordinary Time, the final
    Sunday before Advent begins. This year
    it falls on 20th November.
    On this solemnity the priest wears
    white and the readings are the same
    each year.
    At Baptism, we are anointed with
    holy oil as priest, prophet and king.

    The feast of Christ the King is a time


    when we can reflect on our own
    kingship, on what being a ‘king’
    means and how to be one.

    Understanding the feast helps to


    make our own call better.
    Jesus taught us to pray the Our Father. During this prayer we
    say:
    ‘Our Father who art in heaven… thy kingdom come, thy will be
    done on earth as it is in heaven’.

    This means that we are praying for a world of peace, justice,


    equality and love, just as Jesus showed us.

    Let us pray together the Our Father, thinking in particular of


    these words and asking for God’s help in building his kingdom.

    Ki Our Father…
    Jesus is a king. What kind of king is he?

    How does he help his people?

    Ki Before we begin…
    ‘As for you, my sheep, I will judge between sheep
    and sheep, between rams and he-goats’ (Ezek: 34)
    Jesus is a good king; he looks over us like
    a caring shepherd, making sure that we
    are safe and protecting us from harm
    unlike other dominant rulers.

    He knows everything about us, there is


    nothing we can hide.

    T
    T How can you prepare to meet Christ?
    ‘The Lord is my shepherd, there is
    nothing I shall want’ (Ps: 22)
    Jesus is a descendant of King David
    who was the shepherd boy who
    defeated Goliath.
    David was also a skilled musician who
    wrote many of the psalms including this
    one. David had a great love of God and
    trusted him deeply.
    Jesus invites us to do the same.

    M
    Although times can be
    difficult and we are given
    many challenges to
    overcome, Jesus teaches us
    that God will give us
    everything we need. Christ
    our king will protect us from
    all spiritual harm.

    M How can Christ protect you?


    ‘Just as all men die in Adam, so all men will be brought
    to life in Christ’ (1 Cor 15)
    In Genesis, Adam sits in state and God
    brings all of the animals for him to give
    him names.
    To give names to their subjects is the ‘act’
    of a king. The ‘responsibility’ of a king is
    then to care for his subjects, which why
    we have been entrusted by God to look
    after the world and all of creation.

    MH
    Jesus takes this
    responsibility even further.
    He, who is King of the
    Universe, is both the ruler
    and servant of all.
    His crown was not one of
    jewels, but of thorns.
    He rules in triumph and he
    rules from the cross.

    MHow are you responsible like a king?


    ‘Then the King will say to those on his right hand, “Come,
    you whom my Father has blessed, take for your heritage
    the kingdom prepared for you since the foundation of the
    world. For I was hungry and you gave me food…’ (Mt: 25)
    Jesus tells us that when we look after those in need and show love
    to others, we are doing the same to him.

    Christ our king challenges us to see him in others, especially those


    who are rejected and despised by others. He is the king of love,
    our servant king.

    MHow can you be a ‘servant king’?


    Let us
    pray
     We pray to Christ our king:
    • For all our rulers and leaders…
    • For those in need…
    • For those suffering injustice and inequality…
    • For the vulnerable…
    • For those who are ill or grieving …
    • For our own intentions…
    Glory be…

    Let us pray
     Christ be beside me
    Christ be before me
    Christ be behind me
    King of my heart
    Christ be within me
    Christ be below me
    Christ be above me
    Never to part.
