No King but Jesus

More and more, it’s becoming impossible for us to talk about our challenges as a country. It doesn’t matter if the issue is cultural, moral, economic, political, whatever — the conversation quickly gravitates towards the extremes. So our problems remain, our divisions deepen, and we don’t go anywhere as a people. Politics is not king. Tribalism is not king. Anger and fear, hatred and shame, cruelty and violence — they’re not king, either. Jesus is king. At least in our lives, it’s time we restore Him to the throne.   Readings at this Mass: 2 Sm 5:1–3, Col 1:12–20, Lk 23:35–43
