(Col 1:12-14) Giving thanks to God the Father, who hath made us worthy to be partakers of the lot of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness and hath translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love, In whom we have redemption through his blood, the remission of sins:

EXCERPT HOMILY: Feast of Christ the King
In the book of Hebrews, we learn that the eternal king, Jesus Christ, is also our eternal high priest. He is both the priest and sacrifice—the lamb that is slain. He is the king who sheds His blood for His people and purchases them for His dominion of peace and charity. For the Father has given him all of Creation, and all things are subject to His empire.
Yet, to the power and might of Jesus Christ, we, his subjects, tell Him the limits of His domain. We place restrictions on His authority and mark off the boundaries of His kingdom. We tell Christ the King, who purchased us by the Cross, where His blood does not flow. We tell the Lord that he is king except for our sexuality. We tell the Lord that His kingdom of order and peace does not extend to the media we consume or to what we watch on the internet. We tell Christ the King that his empire encompasses all except for our corporate life and moneymaking. To the King who died for us, we tell him what His precious blood does not cover—what is exempt from His rule and reign.
No more is this more true with modern man than in politics. We have set aside the reality of the Kingdom of Christ and tell Our Lord that His precious blood did not purchase the public square. This error is not new. In 1925, Pope Pius XI instituted the feast of the “Kingship of Jesus Christ” to remind man that Our Lord held dominion over all men, families, and nations. Politics is not exempt from the Precious Blood of Jesus.
Pope Pius XI writes: “It would be a grave error… to say that Christ has no authority whatever in civil affairs, since, by virtue of the absolute empire over all creatures committed to him by the Father, all things are in His power.” Yet, we have rejected the Kingship of Christ extends to politics. And, as Pope Pius XI notes, by attempting to set boundaries to the kingdom of Jesus Christ “human society is tottering to its fall, because it has no longer a secure and solid foundation.” We have been told not to proclaim Christ in the public square. We have been told the reality of the empire of our Lord has no claim on politics. We were told that secularism is neutral. That the absence of true religion makes things fair for all.
This is a lie. There is no neutral.
The evidence is all around us. An absence of Christ does not create neutrality but a vacuum—and in its place new gods have arisen with their own civic religions, anthropologies, definitions, and rituals.
There are no exemptions to the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ. All is within His reign and rule. And we, His subjects, have no power to limit His authority or to hold anything back from His dominion. We are subjects of an empire of charity. We serve the God of Love. We do not turn to the world to understand what love is—we turn to our King, Jesus Christ.
We do not attempt to hold back His Precious Blood; rather, we embrace it, we pray for its covering protection. For under the dominion of His blood is true freedom, peace, and happiness. We should not be ashamed of the Kingdom of Christ. We should not be shamed into silence.
Who has the authority to tell Christ the limits of His rule? What celebrity, media personality, or politician can tell Jesus, King of the Universe, where the boundary of his authority lies?
Let us make Christ the king of our hearts, of our families, and of our society. His kingdom has no bounds and neither should our faith in Him. Let us offer every aspect of our lives to the dominion of the Precious Blood. Hold nothing back.
Let us pray and labor for the restoration of the empire of our Lord Jesus Christ.
FATHER V (X): Promulgated by Pope Pius XI on December 11, 1925, the encyclical Quas Primas established the Feast of Christ the King and reaffirmed the universal kingship of Jesus Christ in response to the rising secularism, aggressive nationalism, and atheism that followed World War I.
Christ’s kingship is spiritual yet real, extending over every person, family, society, and nation—irrespective of religious affiliation. Grounded in Sacred Scripture (e.g., Matthew 28:18; Revelation 19:16) and Tradition, it is exercised through truth, justice, and charity. The encyclical insists that states and rulers must publicly acknowledge this authority if genuine peace and social order—“the peace of Christ in the kingdom of Christ”—are to be achieved.
To this end, Pius XI instituted the Solemnity of Christ the King, originally celebrated on the last Sunday of October (now observed on the final Sunday of the liturgical year), and mandated the annual renewal of the consecration of the human race to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Through this recurring liturgical celebration, the Pope sought to counteract the widespread denial of Christ’s social reign and to reorient civilization toward divine law.
In summary, Quas Primas teaches that authentic human flourishing and enduring peace can be secured only through the public recognition of Jesus Christ as King of all creation—a message that retains its full urgency a century later.
