Reilly Nuestro Señor Jesucristo, Rey del Universo 24 de noviembre de 2019

“Acercándose para ofrecerle vinagre, le decían: ‘Si eres el rey de los judíos, ¡sálvate a ti mismo!’. Sobre su cabeza había una inscripción: ‘Este es el rey de los judíos.’ … Y decía: ‘Jesús, recuérdame cuando llegues a tu Reino’. El le respondió: ‘En verdad te digo que hoy estarás conmigo en el Paraíso.’”

La inolvidable palabra de perdón dicha en el Calvario es la respuesta para todo aquel que se arrepiente. Que al cerrarse los ojos en la muerte, puedan abrirse a la gloria de Su reino eterno.

A menudo la gente pregunta sobre INRI, las letras escritas sobre la cruz. Son el regalo del artista que nos recuerda que fue Jesús quien murió, quien estableció el reino, la iglesia y que El es el salvador de toda la humanidad.

Jesús nos enseñó a orar ‘vénganos tu reino’. En la tierra encontramos ese reino en la iglesia, y algún día, la plenitud de Su reino en la gloria. Yo soy hoy parte de ese reino, ya que yo también he sido ungido en el día de mi bautismo con Jesús: sacerdote, profeta y rey.
