Fr. Dom's Homs - Solemnity of Christ the King

Send us a text

“Every knee shall bow, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.” On this solemnity of Christ the King, we delve into the profound truth that Jesus reigns over all creation—past, present, and future. This isn’t just a feast; it’s a call to action, a rallying cry for Catholics to bring Christ into every corner of their lives: mind, body, family, and society.

Father Domleads us through a powerful homily, blending history, Scripture, and Church doctrine. He recounts the origins of this feast, instituted by Pope Pius XI in 1925, a world grappling with the aftermath of World War I. The Pope foresaw the dangers of atheism and secularism sweeping nations and declared Christ’s kingship as the antidote to darkness and despair.

But this message isn’t confined to the past. It’s a stark reminder for today’s world. Father Dom challenges us to reflect: Are we allowing Christ to reign in our minds, hearts, and lives? Or are we, like so many societies before us, pushing Him out and inviting chaos to take His place?

This episode brims with actionable insights:

• Pray for the souls in purgatory this November—your prayers can bring them to heaven, and they will intercede for you.
• Learn about the plenary indulgence offered on this feast, a gift of grace from our King.
• Reflect on Pope Pius XI’s encyclical Quas Primas, which reminds us of Christ’s rightful place in every facet of life, including politics and governance.

Father Dom also reminds us of the incredible power of the sacraments, Christ’s tangible gifts to His Church. These are not mere rituals but channels of grace that transform lives and lead us to the ultimate kingdom of heaven.

The episode crescendos with a call to embrace the joy and hope of Christ’s kingship. Just as the Allied invasion brought liberation in WWII, Christ’s coming heralds freedom from sin and death. Let His light inspire you to bring His truth into a dark and weary world.

Join us for this compelling reflection on Christ the King, a solemnity that reminds us of our true hope and the eternal reign of our Savior. Let’s recommit to His mission and crown Him King of our hearts.
