November Prayer Intentions from Pope Francis People Who Suffer from Depression

We pray that people who suffer from depression or burn-out will find support and a light that opens them

up to life.

Good News! Dn 7:13–14 / Rv 1:5–8; Jn 18:33b–37

Your Majesty. This is an interesting form of address. It is not really a title like Queen or Lord. Nor does it identify a function ascribed to royalty, as does ruler. It refers to a status of excellence. It belongs to the position of royalty itself rather than the person in that position. Just what is majesty and why do we attribute it to some people? Originally people believed that royal individuals were descendants of the gods. This probably explains the notion of royal majesty. The readings for today’s feast show that Jesus turned the ideas of kingship and royal majesty upside down. The son of man in Daniel was a heavenly being upon whom “dominion, glory, and kingship” (7:14) were bestowed by God. The kingship of this figure is universal and everlasting. In the Gospels, Jesus frequently identifies with this title. When he does so, he is making a claim about his identity. The passage from Revelation depicts Jesus like this son of man, a heavenly being who comes “amid the clouds” (1:7) as “the ruler of the kings of the earth” (1:5). In the Gospel scene, Jesus is interrogated about his identity. He insists that his kingship springs from love and service, not power and force. It’s clear that his royal majesty flows from who he is, not from any political position he might hold. To call him king, as we do with today’s responsorial psalm, was a very dangerous political statement for his early followers, for it claimed that Jesus is Lord, not Caesar.

Sr. Dianne Bergant, CSA For Re lection:

Do you think Jesus was naive about power politics? Why or why not?

What in luence does Jesus exercise over your life as your king?

SHUTTERSTO

CK

Why does the Church continue to use the image of a king to describe Jesus? He didn’t act like a king or expect his followers to treat him like one.

Hereditary kings ruled most nations in the ancient Near East. In Egypt, the king was actually recognized as a god. In Israel, God was considered

the one true king, and God’s covenant was the treaty that united God and the people.

But the time came when the Israelites thought they needed to strengthen themselves militarily and politically. Then the elders came to Samuel and asked him to appoint a king to govern them like other nations (1 Samuel 8:5). The three great kings of Israel (Saul, David, and Solomon) were considered instruments of God but were also subject to existing legal codes.

Throughout the New Testament runs the theme that Jesus, a descendant of the royal 'DYLGLF�OLQH��LV�D�UXOHU�RU�NLQJ��7KH�0DJL�ˋUVW�proclaimed Jesus king, saying they were looking for the “newborn king of the Jews” (Matthew 2:2).

At the heart of Jesus’ message was the good news that all people could enter the kingdom of God if they rejected sin. Jesus used the parable of the mustard seed (Mark 4:30–32) to show that his kingdom will grow until everyone can EH�HPEUDFHG�ZLWKLQ�LWV�EUDQFKHV��7KLV�NLQJGRP��ˋUVW�PDQLIHVWHG�LQ�VLPSOLFLW\�DQG�ORYH�LQ�WKH�*DOLOHDQ�FRXQWU\VLGH��LV�WR�UHDFK�LWV�IXOˋOOPHQW�LQ�D�JUHDW�ORYH�among all people. Jesus as king is an image that should lead us to recognize our commitment to love and service to others in his kingdom.
