Solemnity of Christ the King: Overcoming the Small-Town Outlook

St. Josemaria Institute Podcast

In our meditation of the week: Msgr. Fred Dolan invites us to reflect on the Solemnity of Christ the King as a call to embrace our shared kingship with Christ. Drawing inspiration from St. Josemaria, Fr. Fred encourages us to rise above a limited "small-town outlook" and instead adopt a universal heart open to all. Furthermore, he emphasizes the importance of self-dominion, spiritual renewal, and preparing ourselves to enter the new liturgical year with a sense of purpose and readiness to grow in Christ’s image.
As we approach Advent, we’re reminded that true kingship, modeled by Christ, is rooted in self-mastery and service. Through prayer, reflection, and a willingness to let go of rigid habits, we can embody this royal calling and approach each liturgical season with a fresh spirit and openness to God’s transformative grace.
