Then you shall be radiant at what you see, your heart shall throb and overflow…Those words leapt off the page of the missal and they actually hurt as they landed in my heart.  They felt like a promise that was for me somehow, but also so impossibly inaccessible from where I sat alone in the pew on that cold day in January at the Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception in Denver.

Our Lord Jesus Christ is the King of the Universe. How striking it is that the church gives us this solemnity on the last Sunday of the liturgical year before we begin our season of waiting upon his birth in the poor manger. He is the King of the Universe. The universe! The immeasurably vast universe which holds all life, all light, all matter, all energy, all sound. He is its creator, sustainer and king. It all obeys him. "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "the one who is and who was and who is to come, the almighty."
