Christ the King
A crown.
A sceptre.
A stained-glass window.

Is that all we see?

Christ is God made man.
His reign begins in our hearts.
It must reach our homes, our laws and our nations.

“He’s the king of everything.”

And that asks something of us.

“You’re not doing it alone.”

“The light of Christ shines out from the Blessed Sacrament. He is with us.”

Let Him transform our hearts, minds and wills.

God sees our hearts. He knows who reigns there.

But do not mistake an easier life for the purpose of a Christian life.

The council, the sexual revolution, social upheaval and feminism have made Catholic life harder.

Families have suffered.
It is easy to become disheartened.
Never stop trying.

And Christ gives forgiveness first.

That is the uncomfortable question at the heart of this Sunday’s sermon: what do we ask God for first?

Pray for health.
Pray for peace.
Pray against unjust laws and destructive wars.

18th Sunday after Whitsun
A man is carried to Christ because he cannot walk.

His friends expect a cure.

Instead, Christ says: “Be of good heart, son. Thy sins are forgiven thee.”

The scribes are shocked.
Only God can forgive sins.

Anyone could say those words - but how could the crowd know they were true?

Christ tells the man to rise, take up his bed and go home.

He does.

The healing they can see gives them reason to believe in the forgiveness they cannot see.

[SSPX Scotland @SSPXScotland]

17th Sunday after Whitsun
Christ says the greatest commandment is to love God with our whole heart, and the second is to love our neighbour as ourselves.

Then He asks: “What think you of Christ? Whose son is He?”

They answer: “The son of David.”

[SSPX Scotland @SSPXScotland]

And why love our neighbour?

Because Christ has united the faithful to Himself in His Mystical Body. What we do to them, we do to Him.

Know Christ.
Return His love.
Love your neighbour in Him.

15th Sunday after Whitsun
A widow follows her only son to the grave.

Christ sees her grief, stops the funeral procession, raises the young man and restores him to her.

He can call a soul back to life, too.

“Go out into the darkness and put thy hand into the hand of God.”

Christ offers us the chance to return to grace and begin again.

Take His hand. Start rowing.
