Ecce Homo: Thoughts on the Solemnity of the Christ the King

Such a king as this:
look at him,
bloodstained,
crowned with thorns,
mocked.
See how he ascends
to his throne,
outstretched arms,
pierced hands,
bleeding side.
Yet
just by this act
he saved us all,
and at his name
every knee shall bend.

Hosanna!
Thank you, Lord.
Forgive me!
Transform me!
Make my heart like unto thine.
