As we celebrate Our Lord Jesus Christ as the King of the Universe, let us allow ourselves be reminded of what Pope Pius XI had recommended in the aftermath of World War I: Pax Christi in Regno Christi (The peace of Christ in the kingdom of Christ). Pope Pius Xi emphasised that peace and justice are grounded in the acknowledgment of Christ’s sovereignty and the application of Christian values in every aspect of life.
If you want true peace in your heart, there is only one way to achieve it; live the beatitudes, the attitudes of those considered citizens of the kingdom of Jesus Christ.
So ask our beloved Jesus Christ to help you become poor in spirit, meek, eager for righteousness, merciful, pure in heart, and a peacemaker. And even if you mourn, are persucted and insulted, you should rejoice and be glad because great is your reward in his kingdom!
