OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, KING OF THE UNIVERSE – YEAR C
A REFLECTION (Luke 23: 35-43)
BEARING WITNESS TO THE TRUTH. With a wooden cross for a throne, at a place where thieves were crucified, the king of the Jews meted out a judgement to a common thief: ‘this day you will be with me in paradise’. This king can still be found among the criminals and outcasts of our society, in the worst parts of our cities and towns. Worshipping him in the least of our brothers and sisters, we too will experience his compassionate judgement.
