Christ the King

Our sister website, The Life of Christ Our Lord, published today a page on the Adoration of the Magi. This seems entirely appropriate for today's magnificent feast in honour of Christ the King.


[10] Videntes autem stellam gavisi sunt gaudio magno valde.
And seeing the star they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.

The Adoration of the Magi. J-J Tissot

[11] Et intrantes domum, invenerunt puerum cum Maria matre ejus, et procidentes adoraverunt eum : et apertis thesauris suis obtulerunt ei munera, aurum, thus, et myrrham.
And entering into the house, they found the child with Mary his mother, and falling down they adored him; and opening their treasures, they offered him gifts; gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

[12] Et responso accepto in somnis ne redirent ad Herodem, per aliam viam reversi sunt in regionem suam.
And having received an answer in sleep that they should not return to Herod, they went back another way into their country. [Matt 2]

Christus vincit! Christus regnat! Christus imperat!

Totus tuus ego sum 
Et omnia mea tua sunt;
Tecum tutus semper sum:
Ad Jesum per Mariam
