Christ the King, Thirty-Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time (5)

Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ Λόγος

in the begin was the logos

The reason

the principle that governs all things

Emperor of all

in begining and end, King of Kings

Jesus Christ

Therefore only empire is peace

world, country, ourselves?

Banish the king, banish well-being

When an inventor crafts

each part serves purpose

clockwork only when purpose rules it

slightest deviation can result in malfunction

parts only make sense with purpose

if purpose not followed

damaged

degraded

frustrated

a computer hammer b/c it heavy, notepad for a towel, pen as a shovel

certainly can but

less efficient

makes parts sadly pointless

better destroy and remake

even w/ mere stuff see this logic

can burry head in sand when comes to selves

Now when the smithy of the heavens crafts, perfect

no fault in design

but not used purpose, frustration

The genius Christ King reality, logos made all

Reason made all, and no better reason than itself

so why seem damaged?

see design, based on call:

sick, death, and sin bad

only bad b/c have a design not living to

if designed to be sick, dead, sinner then we woudl call good

if perfect maker, fault must lie in misuse

Something more robots

gave freedom

couldnt make without purpose or be nothing

gave best purpose

to share in divine perfection

didnt force follow

no freedom in force

nor could be conscious (explain)

So began our miserable rebellion

when inventions misused:

damaged

degraded

frustrated

inventor king’s creation starts to creak

banish king, banish wellbeing

but more return purpose the more peace

even if thru cross the king victorius used to reclaim his kingdom.

In establishing this solmenity after wwI, Pius reflects on this reality:

“peace could not be more effectually restored nor fixed upon a firmer basis than through the restoration of the Empire of Our Lord...The empire of Christ over all nations was rejected. The right which the Church has from Christ himself, to teach mankind, to make laws, to govern peoples in all that pertains to their eternal salvation, that right was denied.”

Each day we stray rule of Christ rule is into misery, conflict, and death

like misusing invention, what expect?

We are given a nature and high purpose

what results rejecting king of nature?

unbelief

murder

selfish greed

deviant unchastity

exploitation of poor

marital infidelity

transgender ideology

and the horrors of coming transhuman ideology brewing as a stormcloud on horizon

Forbids not b/c can hurt Immortal Emperor of reality,

but b/c not good and hurt us.

Hard separate divine punishment from being their own punishment

kind of same

Christ the king rules all

invented creation

what king let rule use of our invented lives?

choose wisely

Scripture

All things came to be through him, and without him nothing came to be.” Jn1:3.
