Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe
He is not our King if we do not listen to him, serve him, and follow him. We belong to his Kingdom only when we try to walk with him, when we try to live our lives fully in the spirit of the Gospel and when that Gospel spirit penetrates every facet of our living. If Christ is really King of my life, he must be king of every part of my life, and I must let him reign in all parts of my life. By cultivating in our lives the gentle and humble mind of Christ, we show others that Jesus Christ is in indeed our King and that he is in charge of our lives. Fr Anthony Kadivil
