On the last Sunday of each liturgical year, the Church celebrates the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe. Pope Pius XI instituted this feast in 1925 with his encyclical Quas primas (“In the first”) to respond to growing nationalism and secularism. During the early twentieth century, in Mexico, Russia, and in many parts of Europe, atheistic regimes threatened not just the Catholic Church and its faithful but civilization itself. Pope Pius XI’s encyclical gave Catholics hope and—while govern-ments around them crumbled—the assurance was that Christ the King shall reign forever.
Today’s gospel reminds us that Christ’s kingship is fully revealed by the cross. Christ is a different and new kind of king. We normally think of kings as covered in jewels and fine clothes. The bible tells us that Christ the King is stripped, beaten, and crowned not with jewels and gold, but with thorns and crucified between two criminals.
St. Dismas, the good thief (criminal) who was crucified with Jesus, teaches us that no one is beyond the reach of God’s mercy. It is never too late to turn to Christ and ask for our sins to be forgiven. As a priest, I experience this in the way in which God’s mercy can draw people back to him, even at the end of their lives. It is not uncommon to offer the sacraments of Penance and Anointing of the Sick to people near the end of their lives. The mercy of Christ the King reaches out to them in their last moments, and they can hear the words that St. Dismas heard: “today you will be with me in Paradise.”
We all are sinners. But here is the good news for us, God’s love and mercy is always bigger than our sins. All we need to do is to pray, like St. Dismas, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom!” And Jesus will respond, “Today, you will be with me in Paradise.”
As we celebrate the solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe today let us come to the King to praise and worship Him and let Him be our only Lord and King now and forever. Amen
