34TH SUNDAY OF ORDINARY TIME (YEAR C)
Christ is the king but his reign is different from the normal earthly kingly reign, says the Archbishop, Most Rev. Valerian Okeke. Assured of this, he urges us to imitate Christ who rules with love. Other earthly kings rely on ammunition to rule and suppress and intimidate, but Christ used the weapon of love to serve as a king. Christ devoted all his energy to serve, and he conquered as a king with love.
