CLOSING our liturgical calendar is the feast of Christ the King. It is not in triumphalism, or in terms of splendor or political and temporal power, that the title king is being affixed to Christ, but in the perspective of his mission of divine commitment for the salvation of humankind. It is his establishment of the reign of God in the world that proclaims him to be our irreplaceable savior-king, even as we pray for divine help so that we can live by his Gospel and be welcomed to the joy of the kingdom prepared for us from the foundation of the world (Matthew 25:31-46).
