Homily for the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe
“Grant, we pray, that the whole creation, set free from slavery, may render your majesty service and ceaselessly proclaim your praise.”
Father Miguel Pro’s famous last words before the firing squad were “Viva Cristo Rey” (“Long live Christ the King!”)
