Christ truly is our King forever. Today on this most important feast day of "Christ The King", we are reminded that we are a people of God. He reigns over the entire universe that He himself created. Everything belongs to Christ. Everything and everyone on this earth and in heaven, God created. We are sons and daughters of a King! He is one God in three divine persons. Father, Son, And Holy Spirit. We were taught this truth in parochial school from the nuns who became our teachers and mentors, they molded us and inspired us to know the faith, love our Lord, and to live a life of great truth in Him.
This world and this life with God contains all truth in the way we ought to live. I know his ways are difficult and very few whole heartedly and genuinely, follow the Christ. This God man that I speak of, is your savior! Let there be no doubt in your mind, he gave you life, and it is meant to be everlasting. He wants everyone to be with Him in eternity. Sadly, many of us, have turned our backs on the truth, and have rejected Jesus the Christ. Sin, distracting one soul, can lead a person far from God, far from his truths, far from keeping the ten commandments.
Even our pastor Father Patrick spoke of this exact truth today at mass. What if there were no governors and only men and women following the ten commandments? Would our society be much better off? It's a really great question. What if we were to live free, would there be peace in everyone of us? It seems perfectly clear that if we all lived under the law of God's ways, yes, perhaps, we would all be living much better lives as Christians. Our faith would guide us, and a perfect harmonious outcome would take the place of money and the crazy things that the desire of having more wealth does to the mind and soul of every man and every woman.
All along our focus should have been, Christ! I believe that no divorce would enter into the hearts that truly know and understand agape love! To love truly love as Christ loves us takes the ultimate sacrifice of denying our desire and living for the desire of making our spouse a priority. Respectfulness would resurge, and a new found understanding will re enter into the mind and heart of man and woman. All confusion will cease, and a beautiful love will take root in the hearts united through the love of God.
As Christians, we can live this way today all we have to do is get serious about our affairs in life and totally surrender ourselves to Christ. Once we surrender we allow God to live in us and take control of everything. If you ever wanted to experience Joy beyond belief surrender your life right now to Christ. He will form you into absolute perfection. You will become happier and holier than you ever imagined. God is patiently waiting for everyone to say yes Lord, I come to do your will. And when we do come back to the Lord with all our heart, all our soul, all our mind, we live no longer for ourselves, but we life totally in and for Him!
God is patient when it comes to these matters. He loves us so much he gave us free will. But he also wants us to realize what free will does to a man or woman when they remain in that free will. And when we reach the point of this realization, when we have had enough of the world and its way, we desire to remove ourselves from the world and remain in him. His presence, is the only place hearts, souls, and minds, and spirits, rest fully. He teaches us the way to truly live a life that is full, reflective, prayerful, joyful, because in his presence Christ himself is all the above. Christ is enough!
Now go to him in the upper room and pray. Be united to the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords! And enter into, His heavenly truth.
