CATHOLIC FAITHLINK: “Homily of Saint Pope John Paul II, Eucharistic Celebration for the Feast of Christ The King, Sunday, 23 November 1997” – VaticanVa
“… He, the obedient Servant, is King because He has ‘the keys of death and Hades’ (Rv 1:18). And, because He is the conqueror of death, hell and Satan, He is “the ruler of kings on earth” (Rv 1:5). In fact, everything on earth is subject to death. Instead, He who has power over death opens the prospect of immortal life to all humanity. He is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the Fulfilment of all Creation (cf. Rv 1:8), so that every generation can repeat: Blessed is His Kingdom that is coming (cf. Mk 11:10). …”
