Today as a Church, we conclude our liturgical year

and celebrate the Feast of Christ the King. The

Gospel we proclaim shows the great mystery of our

faith: In the moment of his crucifixion, Jesus is

shown to be King and Savior of all. Luke's Gospel

has been loaded with surprises: the poor are rich,

sinners find salvation, the Kingdom of God is found

in our midst. Here we see the greatest surprise of all.

We are confronted with the crucified Jesus, whom

faith tells us is King and Savior of all. The irony is

that the inscription placed on the cross, perhaps in

mockery, contains the profoundest of truth. As the

leaders jeer, the thief crucified by his side recognizes

Jesus as Messiah and King, and finds salvation.

Jesus is King, but not the kind of king we might

have imagined or expected. His kingship was hidden

from many of his contemporaries, but those who

had the eyes of faith were able to see.

As modern disciples of Jesus, we, too, struggle at

times to recognize Jesus as King. Today's Gospel

invites us to make our own judgment. With eyes of

faith, we, too, recognize that Jesus, the crucified One,

is indeed King and Savior of all.
