St. Paul Chong Hasang Bulletin

The Mass readings for the Solemnity of Christ the King Year B center around the theme of true kingship. The first reading foretells the coming of the Son of Man who receives dominion and kingship over all nations. The second reading from Revelation describes Jesus as the one who loves us, frees us from sin, and establishes us as a kingdom of priests. In the gospel, Jesus reveals that his kingdom is not of this world. These readings prompt reflection on the concept of Jesus as the true King, the relationship between the Mass and the Book of Revelation, Jesus in the context of spiritual battle, and the characteristics of his kingdom.

• First Reading – Daniel 7:13-14: I saw the Son of Man receive eternal authority and glory from the Ancient One. His everlasting kingdom will never be destroyed, and all nations will serve him.
• Responsorial Psalm – Psalm 93: The Lord, clothed in majesty and strength, rules a stable world. His eternal throne and trustworthy decrees affirm his holiness forever.
• Second Reading – Revelation 1:5-8: Jesus, the faithful witness and eternal king, loves us, freed us from sin, and made us a kingdom. He will return, and everyone will see him.
• Gospel –John 18:33B-37: Pilate questioned Jesus about being the King of the Jews. Jesus explained that his kingdom is not of this world and that he came to testify to the truth.
