The Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe brings us to the culmination of the Liturgical Year. It sums up all that we have been observing and celebrating since the First Sunday of Advent. As Christians, our lives revolve around the life of Jesus Christ. Next week we will be preparing for his birth as we open up the New Liturgical Year. And then on and on through the familiar sequence. Each year's observances and recollections of the key events and their meaning for us should bring us a deeper love for Jesus and a closer adherence to his teachings. Our purpose on earth is to know, love and serve God in this world and be happy with him in the next," as simply stated in the Baltimore Catechism of days past and again reiterated in the Catechism of the Catholic Church. We focus on Christ the King today, who will come at the end of time to reap the harvest of the souls how have been faithful to this purpose. We rejoice at our existence, our calling to such a sublime purpose and end, and rededicate our loves and efforts to our Lord, Master, and Savior.
