What does it mean to say Christ is King? We frequently sin against His kingship by using our time self-interestedly. Reject the kingdom of satan and the world which are opposed to His kingdom. Pray that He reign in you. Be faithful to the truth. Adore the virtues in Christ. Render to God that which is His. We were created for Christ and are to offer Him all our being.
El santo evangelio de hoy explícitamente nos dice que Nuestro Señor Jesucristo llora. ¿Por qué? Su pueblo lo rechaza. El mundo no deja de pecar. Mantén muy viva esta imagen en tu mente. Es para que respondamos en dos maneras: [1] Imitemos a Cristo; [2] Seamos más motivados para consolarlo (reparación).
Debemos actuar sabiamente para la salvación de nuestras almas y debemos valorar sobre todo las cosas de Dios, en particular, la Preciosísima Sangre, porque esta es la que nos salva. La Santa Misa, La Santa Comunión, y la Confesión son los tres medios principales de la salvación y también son los grandes recipientes de la Preciosísima Sangre. La reparación es uno de los principales objetos de la devoción a la Preciosísima Sangre. Hay que ser deseosos de hacer reparación por todos los pecados: los propios, los de mi familia, los de la sociedad, y los de la iglesia.
Keep in your mind today's gospel image of Our Savior weeping. If He was sorrowful over the sight of Jerusalem, how sorrowful is He now as He beholds His beloved Church? We must offer much reparation for indifference, ingratitude and blasphemy. Like St. Peter, never cease to weep over your sins. Practice the devotion to the Holy Face, which is well suited for reparation.
Holy Mass, Confession, and Holy Communion are the great vessels, or fountains, of the Precious Blood. We must place the greatest importance upon them, for their power is far above our devotions and sacramentals. These three are also the greatest means to make reparation. We must open our eyes to see how great is this need. Remember your sins first, then those of the Church and the world - there is so much ingratitude, indifference and infidelity. By reparation we 'balance' the evil with good and console Our Lord and Our Lady.
The greatest fruits of the Precious Blood are the saints and martyrs. Consider, for example the life of St. Christina of Bolsena. Many don't realize her connection to the great Eucharistic Miracle which took place over her relics one thousand years after her martyrdom. The link to the Precious Blood is seen in other great saints we venerate in July, such as St. James the Greater, St. Ann, and St. Mary Magdalene. Pray for the specific graces exemplified by these saints and specifically associated with the infinite power of the Precious Blood.
How often do you think about the Precious Blood, the price Our Lord paid for your redemption? In order to be cleansed of sin, we need the application to our souls of this Precious Blood. Adore and invoke the Precious Blood. Even little children can offer this prayer: 'Blood of Jesus, help me!' Recall one of His seven sheddings each day of the week and beg for the specific graces associated with it. Reparation is also essential St. Veronica, pray for us.
Hear O Lord my voice with which i have cried to Thee. Abel's blood cried to Heaven for vengeance. All these prayers are fulfilled and perfected in Christ's Precious Blood, which has infinite power to save, protect, heal and sanctify. Adore the Precious Blood, especially every time you are at Mass. Meditate upon how inanimately connected it is to all our Catholic devotions. Pray the Chaplet of the Holy Wounds or the Rosary of the Five Wounds. Strive for the two greatest fruits of this devotion!
Solo podemos llegar al cielo porque nuestro Señor Jesucristo derramó su preciosísima sangre por nosotros. Esta efusión de la sangre de Cristo se renueva en el sacrificio de la santa misa. La iglesia católica ha enseñado cuáles son las obligaciones de cada estado respecto a Dios. El estado debe dar gracias a Dios, debe reconocer su soberanía, y debe respetar sus leyes. Además, el estado también tiene la obligación de ofrecer a Dios el verdadero culto y apoyar a la verdadera religión.
El Sagrado Corazón tiene amor predilecto por los pecadores. Jesús desea reinar a través de Su amor. Él es rey soberano de todos los individuos, familias y naciones. La sociedad civil tiene que organizarse según los principios católicos. Debemos promover los aspectos reales y sociales de Su reinado. Todos los que tienen el derecho de mandar reciben su autoridad de Dios. El estado tiene la responsabilidad de salvaguardar la ley de Dios. Sin embargo, Cristo Rey es despreciado y rechazado casi universalmente. Increíblemente, esto también es cierto dentro de la Iglesia Católica. Haz lo mejor que puedas para ofrecer reparación al [...]
