This weekend’s celebration of the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe, closes the Season of Ordinary Time. As Tony explains, Jesus’ exchange with Pilate teaches us that the Kingdom of God is not spread by the worldly means of coercion and violence, but by Christian disciples living as Jesus does.
