Happy Solemnity of Christ the King!

Blessed is the Kingdom of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit now and forever unto the ages of ages!

And blessed by Jesus Christ, King and Lord of the Universe and All Creation on the Solemnity of Christ the King!

Pilate said to Jesus, “Are you the King of the Jews?” Jesus answered, “Do you say this on your own or have others told you about me?” Pilate answered, “I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests handed you over to me. What have you done?” Jesus answered, “My kingdom does not belong to this world. If my kingdom did belong to this world, my attendants would be fighting to keep me from being handed over to the Jews. But as it is, my kingdom is not here.” So Pilate said to him, “Then you are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say I am a king. For this I was born and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice.”
