The Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe, celebrated on November 23, 2025, marks the final Sunday of the liturgical year in the Roman Catholic Church. This solemnity proclaims the kingship of Christ, acknowledging His authority over all creation and His eternal reign of justice, mercy, and love.
Christ the King: A Universal Reign
This feast was instituted by Pope Pius XI in 1925 to remind the faithful that, beyond earthly kingdoms and governments, Christ alone reigns over the hearts and lives of all people. His kingship is not one of domination, but of service, humility, and sacrifice—embodied most fully on the Cross.
A Call to Live Under Christ’s Reign
Believers are invited to recognize Christ’s sovereignty in daily life, allowing His teachings to guide decisions, actions, and relationships. Living under Christ’s kingship means striving for justice, practicing mercy, and embodying love in service to others.
A Reflection for Our Time
In a world often dominated by power struggles and division, the Solemnity of Christ the King offers a reminder that true authority comes through love, humility, and truth. The reign of Christ challenges us to align our lives with His Gospel, seeking peace, reconciliation, and the common good.
As we celebrate this solemnity, may we place Christ at the center of our hearts, homes, and communities, proclaiming His eternal kingship in every aspect of life.
