Christ the King

The Feast of Christ the King. Pius XI instituted this feast in contradistinction to the rise of Stalin, Hitler, Mussulini. He instituted it in contradistiction to the cult of political saviours, of earthly aspirations, of materialistic explanations of the cosmos. No, Jesus Christ is King, He has the dominion not only of the world and all that therein lies, but perhaps most importantly of the poor little kingdoms of our poor little beleagured hearts: yes, may He reign.
