First Reading
DANIEL 7:13-14
Everlasting dominion

13 I was gazing into the visions of the night, when I saw, coming on the clouds of heaven, as it were a son of man. He came to the One most venerable and was led into his presence.
14 On him was conferred rule, honour and kingship, and all peoples, nations and languages became his servants. His rule is an everlasting rule which will never pass away, and his kingship will never come to an end.

PSALMS 93:1-2, 5

1 Yahweh is king, robed in majesty, robed is Yahweh and girded with power.
2 The world is indeed set firm, it can never be shaken; your throne is set firm from of old, from all eternity you exist.
5 Your decrees stand firm, unshakeable, holiness is the beauty of your house, Yahweh, for all time to come.

 

Second Reading
REVELATION 1:5-8
Ruler of the Kings

5 and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the First-born from the dead, the highest of earthly kings. He loves us and has washed away our sins with his blood,
6 and made us a Kingdom of Priests to serve his God and Father; to him, then, be glory and power for ever and ever. Amen.
7 Look, he is coming on the clouds; everyone will see him, even those who pierced him, and all the races of the earth will mourn over him. Indeed this shall be so. Amen.
8 'I am the Alpha and the Omega,' says the Lord God, who is, who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.

Gospel Reading
JOHN 18:33-37
King of the Jews

33 So Pilate went back into the Praetorium and called Jesus to him and asked him, 'Are you the king of the Jews?'
34 Jesus replied, 'Do you ask this of your own accord, or have others said it to you about me?'
35 Pilate answered, 'Am I a Jew? It is your own people and the chief priests who have handed you over to me: what have you done?'
36 Jesus replied, 'Mine is not a kingdom of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, my men would have fought to prevent my being surrendered to the Jews. As it is, my kingdom does not belong here.'
37 Pilate said, 'So, then you are a king?' Jesus answered, 'It is you who say that I am a king. I was born for this, I came into the world for this, to bear witness to the truth; and all who are on the side of truth listen to my voice.'

THE FEAST OF CHRIST THE KING was established by Pope Pius XI in 1925 to combat the way of life which leaves God out of man’s thinking and living and organizes his life as if God did not exist. This Feast is intended to proclaim effectively that Christ is THE HEAD OF THE CHURCH and our REDEEMER for He has purchased us by HIS PRECIOUS BLOOD. 

 
The Catholic Bishops' Conference encourages all Christ's Youth Faithful to join The Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVI and others as Joyful Missionaries on Mission to Go and Make Disciples of All Nations! (Matt.  28:19) by being witnesses of His Love.
