Maundy Thursday (Year 4, NL)

This Sunday is the Feast of Christ the King. All of the readings for this Sunday focus on kingship—David’s, God’s, Jesus’. Jesus’ views on kingship are revealed in his famous discussion with Pilate. Jesus makes it clear that his kingship is directed at testifying to the truth.

Jesus is a king with a specific mission: he has come into the world to testify to the truth.

If anything remains sacred in our culture, it’s the family. Yet Jesus challenged the family’s ultimacy.

In the 2,200 pages of Boswell's Life of Johnson, the protagonist's death is dispensed with in 36 pages.
