Christ the King
This is actually a re-post from 2007. I couldn't think of anything better I could share with you on this feast day. The words of Thomas Merton about Christ the King, since I heard them, have always rung in my ears: "Christ is a king who does not control by power... who does not control by law." Swallow that, but make sure you chew on it for a good while first or you might choke.

Tomorrow [actually today] is the feast of Christ the King. I found an image I think is appropriate for how Christ showed Himself as King to us, for us. I don't really have a lot to say about that right now but I also wanted to share a two minute section of audio with you - of Thomas Merton speaking about Christ the King, on or near that same feast day in 1968, in Bangkok Thailand. So this was recorded about two weeks before he died. The quality isn't the greatest, but what he says is very well worth letting sink in. Listen well.
