We
just celebrated the feast day of Christ the King last Sunday to mark the last
Sunday in our liturgical year. The psalm
today echoes that same theme, as it begins: “Say among the nations: The Lord is
king.” Our psalmist gives glory that the
Lord is king, proclaiming that the heavens should be glad and that the earth
should rejoice. We are told in the psalm
that the Lord has come to rule the earth, to rule it with justice &
constancy. Sometimes, however, the
justice & mercy of the Lord is not reflected in the way we rule our human
society. Sometimes, our human weaknesses
get the best of us, and the ways of man override the ways of the Lord.
As
we get ready for our joyful Advent season as a time of waiting and preparation,
let us think of ways that we can proclaim to the world that the Lord is our
king. May the heavens and earth rejoice
at the way they see us proclaiming the kingship of the Lord in our lives.
