+ Today in the first reading
we hear the magnificent song of Moses: “Great and wonderful are your works,
Lord God almighty. Just and true are your ways, O king of the nations, Who will
not fear you, Lord, or glorify your name? For you alone are holy. All the
nations will come and worship before you, for your righteous acts have been
revealed.
It seems imminent now that the nations of the world will at last
encounter the true regent, the true Lord, the true Monarch of the ages – who has
been ruling all along in authentic and genuine authority.
The great line of validly elected and installed kings, presidents and
prime ministers witness to the fact that there is a channel of power emanating
from the One Supernatural Source: The Father’s Will, through the Son’s
Obedience, in the Spirit’s power.
It seems as though now there is, though not the first time, an
anonymalous regent poised to take prime place in world politics – and this time
– because the stakes are so high – global security, peace and truth – God will
no doubt intervene in an unmistakable way. The presidency of the United States
will not take down the rest of the world in a stolen act of PRIDE and
PREJUDICE.
Truth and Justice will reign at last – in the Person of Jesus Christ,
King of the Universe.
For this we are eternally grateful at this Giving Thanks Time of Year.
It is time now
to stand up behind the Banner of Christ – and march with him across the Bridge
to the Kingdom! And the gospel passage reminds us very starkly that this army of
Christ will be seized and persecuted; families will be in turmoil, hatred will
be fierce for those fighting with Christ BUT BY OUR PERSEVERANCE we will secure
our lives.
May the Body and Blood of Christ the Babe and King, we consume at this
Mass, be indeed the daily bread, strength, rock, fortress and comfort that we
need to ENDURE BRAVELY UNTIL THE END.
And may the
weapon of the Rosary of our Dear Blessed Mother who is now weeping copious
amounts of tears for those who are headed for destruction: though it is never too late to repent
until our last breath. May we consecrate ourselves to her all the more and work
for her, for the salvation of the world.
Remain faithful until death, and I
will give you the crown of life.
