Superb as always. The priests at my church usually tell us a week or so in advance about Christ the King Sunday, so I'm usually not surprised.
I love that picture you posted with your homily. It's very similar to possibly the most mind-blowing piece of art I have ever seen, The Divine Comedy's Empyrean by Gustave Dore (one of my favorite artists). That is definitely something to look forward to seeing in Heaven. For those who haven't seen it, feast your eyes on this: https://linesandmarks.com/wp-content/uploads/guistav-dore-heaven.jpg
P.S. I am not an expert on religious art or art in general, but I know a little.
Thanks so much, Christopher. Your priests are doing their job well! I’ve written about the importance of giving parishioners perspective on the cycle of readings, but in my experience most homilists don’t do this.
Beautiful homily! Fr. Mike has a great one today also, with - no surprise - many of the same ideas.

That Doré wood-cut is amazing!
Excellent. I mean, yikes: "People will die of fright"!
