Long Live Christ the King!

This is a bit behind the curve, unfortunately. Yesterday was Christ the King Sunday, and if anyone can remain unmoved during those readings at the Mass, they have a heart of stone.

We can forget at times that all of our earthly associations - government, business and social ties - are strictly provisional and temporary, because we are already the subjects of our King, and ever will be, and being the lowliest subject in his Kingdom beats the tar out of everything the world could possibly offer.

At Mass last night, it occurred to me that the Feast of Christ the King ought to have a real holiday Feast attached to it, and it is maybe even a gross oversight that it does not. Of course it is a Holy Day, but it darn well ought to be a holiday, as well. It needs a traditional feast and a party. It is, after all, the last day of the Christian year.

Something like Rex-mas?

As Blessed Migel Pro would say - Festiva Christo Ray!
