Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe
Luke 23:35-43 Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom. In today’s Gospel the good thief simply asks Jesus to ‘remember me’. Jesus tells him that being remembered by God is paradise. It’s a wonderful way to understand the Kingship of Christ. We know that Christ our King is not about earthly power, land, buildings, riches or might. We know Jesus’ Kingship is not about lording it over us, or making us frightened of his compassionate judgment. The power of Christ the King is seen in his memory, holding every person in this world close; calling each one of us by name. (Richard Leonard SJ) Gospel Reflection |
