FEAST OF THE KINGSHIP OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST
LAST SUNDAY
OF OCTOBER
White
Double 1 Cl.
The royalty of Christ rests upon a twofold basis. He is our King by right of birth and by right of conquest. The first refers us to the personality of the Son of God, hereby, in His divine nature as God and by virtue of the hypostatic union, He is the sovereign Lord and Master. The second places before us the God-Man coming down on earth to rescue fallen man from the slavery of Satan, and by the labours and sufferings of His life, and passion, and death, to win a glorious victory for us over sin and hell.

OMNIPOTENS sempitérne Deus, qui in dilécto
Fílio tuo, univerórum Rege, ómnia instauráre voluisti.
concéde propítius; ut cunctæ familiæ Géntium, peccáti
vúlnere disgregátæ, ejus suavissimo subdántur império:
Qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus...

FRATRES:
Grátiaságimus Deo Patri. qui dignos nos fecit in partem
sortis sanctórum in lúmine, qui eripuit nos de potestáte
tenebrárum, et tránstulit in regnum Fílii dilectiónis
suæ, in quo habémus redemptiónem per sánguinem ejus,
remisónem peccatórum. Qui est imágo Dei invisibilis,
primogénitus omnis creatúræ: quóniam in ipso cóndita
sunt univérsa in cœlis et in terra, visibília et invisibilia,
sive throni, sive dominatiónes, sive principátus, sive
potestátes: ómnia per ipsum et in ipao creáta sunt:
et ipse est ante ómnea, et ómnia in ipso constant. Et
ipse eat caput córporis Ecclésiæ, qui eat principium,
primogénitus ex mórtuis: ut sit in ómnibus ipse primátum
tenens: quia in ipse complácuit omnem plenitúdinem inhabitáre.
et per eum reconciliáre ómnia in ipsum, pacificans per
sánguinem crucis ejus, sive quæ in terris, sive quæ
in cœlis sunt, in Christo Jesu Dómino nostro.

BRETHREN: Giving thanks to God the Father, who hath .made us worthy to be partakers of the lot of the faints in light: who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom we have redemption through His Blood, the remission of sins; who is the image of the invisible God, the first born of every Creature: for in Him were all things created in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible: whether thrones, or dominations, or principalities, or powers, all things were Created by Him. and in Him; and He is before all, and by Him all things Consist, and He is the head of the body of the Church, who is the beginning. the first-born from the dead, that in all things, He may hold the primacy because in Him it hath well-pleased the Father that all fullness should dwell; and through Him to reconcile all things unto Himself, making peace through the Blood of His Cross, both as to the things on earth, and the things that are in heaven, in Christ Jesus our Lord. |

IN
illo témpore: Dixit Pilátus ad Jesum: Tu es Rex Judæórum?
Respóndit Jesus: A temeipso hoc dicis, an álii dixérunt
tibi de me? Respóndit Pilátus: Numquid ego Judæus sum?
Gens tua et pontifeces tradidérunt te mihi: quid fecísti?
Respóndit Jesus: Regnum meum non est de hoc mundo. Si
ex hoc mundo esset regnum meum, minístri mei útique
decertárent ut non trádeer Judæis: nunc autem regnum
meum non est hinc. Dicitítaque ei Pilátus: Ergo Rex
es tu? Respóndit Jesus: Tu dicis, quia Rex sum ego.
Ego in hoc natus sum, et ad hoc veni in mundum, ut testimónium
perhibeam veritáti: omnis qui est ex veritáte audit
vocem meam. - Credo.

AT that time: Pilate said to Jesus: Art Thou King of the Jews? Jesus answered: Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or have others told it thee of Me? Pilate answered: Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered Thee up to me: what hast Thou done? Jesus answered: My kingdom is not of this world, If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would certainly strive that I should not be delivered to the Jews ; but now My kingdom. is not from hence. Pilate therefore said to him: Art Thou a king then? Jesus answered : Thou sayest that I am a King. For this was I born, and for this came I into the world, that I
should give testimony to the truth. Every one that is of the truth, heareth My voice. - Credo.

Secret
HOSTIAM tibi Dómine, humánæ re conciliatiónis

IT is truly meet and just, right and for our salvation, that we should at all times, and in all places, give thanks unto Thee, O holy Lord, Father almighty, everlasting God; Who didst anoint, with the oil of gladness, Thine only-begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, to be the eternal Priest and King of the universe; that by offering Himself a spotless victim and Peace-offering on the altar of the Cross, He might accomplish the mysteries of man's redemption, and that having subjected all creatures to His dominion, He might present to Thine infinite Majesty an everlasting and universal kingdom; a kingdom of truth and life; a kingdom of holiness and grace; a kingdom of justice, love and peace. And therefore with Angels and Archangels, with Thrones and Dominations and with all the hosts of the heavenly army, we sing the hymn of Thy glory, evermore saying: |
