On the Feast of Christ the King, we can think of many symbols that are affiliated with regal authority –the crown, the scepter, and the orb. We see these symbols come out most clearly in the recent funeral of Queen Elizabeth II back in September and we will see them again when her son and successor King Charles III is crowned King of England in May 2023.

In today's entry in his seminal work, The Liturgical Year, Dom Prosper Gueranger begins,
“John the Baptist has pointed out the Lamb, Peter has firmly fixed His throne, Paul has prepared the Bride...”
We've heard this many times before, but there are no coincidences with God. It is not a coincidence that we just celebrated, on June 23rd, the Birth of St John the Baptist...
