Jesus Christ - King of the Universe

 This Sunday the priest told us something that made me think: he said that our faith in Jesus Christ is not personal, meaning that we must share our faith with others and always put it first, as the first commandment says: You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. He gave us the example of Saint Thomas More, the patron saint of politicians. Saint Thomas More held a high position in the English court during the reign of Henry VIII, but when the king proclaimed himself head of the Anglican Church and separated from the Catholic Church, Saint Thomas More resigned. That same year he was imprisoned, and the following year he was beheaded. The priest told us that for Saint Thomas More, his faith was not personal. He also reminded us of Saint José Sánchez del Río, who was shot while shouting "Long live Christ the King!" during the Cristero War in Mexico; for him, too, his faith was not a personal matter. We must always proclaim that Christ is the king of our lives and bring this faith to others, that the kingdom of Jesus is not of this world, and in his kingdom he has already prepared a place for us where there will be no more tears, where he reigns forever and ever.
