Our Lord Jesus Christ the Universal King
"I gazed into the visions of the night.
And I saw, coming on the clouds of heaven,
one like a son of man.
He came to the one of great age
and was led into his presence.
On him was conferred sovereignty,
glory and kingship,
and men of all peoples, nations and languages became his servants.
His sovereignty is an eternal sovereignty
which shall never pass away,
nor will his empire ever be destroyed."
– Daniel 7:13-19, which is today's First Reading at Mass. My sermon for today's Solemnity can be found here.
