Description
I am a King: The final Sunday of Year B is dedicated to Jesus' universal kingship. As we have seen throughout our reflections on the Gospel of Mark, Jesus lays no claim to be a king who exercises worldly power. On trial for his life in the Gospel of John, he tells Pontius Pilate that he has come with a royal message. God loves us without condition. Those who belong to his kingdom are drawn into that love.
Presented by world-renowned biblical scholar Rev. Professor Francis J. Moloney SDB AM, Audio Divina, is a Lectio-Divina styled reflection on the gospel for Christ the King of Ordinary Time, Year B.
Gospel Reading: John 18:33-37
This week’s readers are Trezur and Sarah
Narrated and Produced by Br Jeff Miller SDB
