childlike simple and receptive like children we take that second breath in when we breathe out we welcome a moment of interior silence this is a refuge from the usual activity of the mind the silence ushers us into that mystical quality of our faith we take that third deep breath and on the out breath we enter our hearts as deeply as we can and from that place of self-knowledge we cry out to god

kingdom of our father david that is [Music] [Music] the lord be with you a reading from the holy gospel according to john gloria pilate said to jesus are you king of the jews jesus answered do you say this on your own or has someone told you about me pilate answered i am not a jew am i your own nation and the chief priests handed you over to me what have you done jesus answered my kingdom kingdom does not belong to this world if my kingdom did belong to this world my attendance would be fighting to keep me from being handed over to the jews but as it is my kingdom is not here so pilate said to him then you are a king jesus answered you say i am a king for this i was born for this i came into the world to testify to the truth everyone who belongs to the truth here's my voice the gospel of the lord praise praise to you lord jesus christ my dear friends each year on the feast of the sacred heart of jesus we celebrate in our church one person couple or family who have exemplified an extraordinary witness to the gospel of christ and been outstanding in their service to the parish and it has never been a staff person except for this year that person is our brent billman who is standing behind the camera as we speak and over the course of working together for many many years i've learned more from brent than anyone else about science about the way things really are he is a fact checker with everything he's he's very reality based he's very science based and he's brilliant and uh i was mentioning to brent i said you know somehow science knows that the big bang that began this incredible performance piece of god called the universe happened about 14.6 billion years ago and then brent said yeah you know we can actually you know we can actually see the microwaves i said what he said yeah there's the cosmic microwave background of the universe i said what's that he says well you know waves they're frequencies and a microwave gets to be very very fine when we have sensitive instruments that can detect and see these things and you know when the when the waves lengthen it takes time that can be measured and there's something called the red shift and we see a red that is so magnificent in its placement on the spectrum of light that we can calculate scientifically methodically and by many other proofs that the universe exploded into being about 14.6 billion years ago and we have instruments to show that it is expanding like crazy now you don't want to get into a dessert course with brent because then he'll be talking about the merging of two black holes and all kinds of phenomena that he's way advanced my point is this we sometimes have a very limited understanding of who god is you know it's nobody's fault didn't we have catechism books i did when i was a child that has lovely of the trinity you see god the father he's very benevolent he's an old man sitting on a throne somewhere and then sometimes you see jesus the christ wearing a crown sitting at his right hand and the holy spirit is flying overhead like a dove this is great poetry it's great art it's wonderful nothing wrong with that it's when we take these things literally that get us off the track when jesus says my kingdom is not here you know perfectly well what he was getting at this world anybody that wants to establish a kingdom in this world of course puts a banner in the ground raises the flag and then raises an army around them and everybody salutes the flag and are willing to die for their country you know this came home to the men who flew up to the moon you know they went up there all of them had personal family problems by the way they landed on the moon and when they finally looked back at this shimmering shining jewel of a planet hanging in the black velvet of space they became mystics they suddenly saw how stupid it was for the human race to ever plant a flag in the ground raise the flag get people to salute and die for it just so you can call this parcel of the planet earth by a name that you've invented that somebody's invented and these are ideas but that's not the reality the reality is this gorgeous unity as of a symphony all the parts working together it's this beautiful esta astounding creation and mystics you know who have been in touch with god feel the grandness of being part of this but we don't see it we don't see it why not we don't see it because we've ascribed to a kingdom that does not belong to christ what kingdom the kingdom that you and i got roped into by advertising by stupidity of the human race by listening to the news this is news well it's what sells why does it sell because it's tintalating because it's fascinating people talk a lot about speculation and opinions and all this and we get filled with it and thinks that this is what reality is wait a minute reality let's all go to the moon and look back at this planet and now let's pray to christ the christ of faith we call him christ of the universe and to make the theological proclamation that we do we can go back to that big bang because there's a prime mover what caused the bang the difference with christians is we say who caused the bang and the reason we do that is because it's our understanding through the spirit that this big expression we call the big bang is god expressing god's self and the word meaning the understanding of god god understanding god's self is the christ preexistent with the father before the bang and their spirit is this grace and gift of being involved with god and god's self and god's perfect mirror of god's self which is the word now the word became flesh and dwelt among us that's jesus his last name is not christ jesus is the son of joseph wed to mary born in a dusty little town called nazareth think how profound our faith is when we say that this man jesus born from that small little podunk town nazareth is the blueprint of everything in the universe you know it's on holy saturday night when we say christ the beginning and we trace the alpha alpha is the first letter of the greek alphabet and then he is the omega the last thing i am the alpha and the omega the beginning and the end our science tells us that in this expansion we don't know how long the universe is going to continue to expand in this stretching out into myriads more glory than we can contain but one day it will stop expanding our physics tells us and will retract relatively quickly that's the end and brent just looked from around the camera and he goes maybe oh it might actually go dark well that would make sense too but that's not really our problem now and the gospel is always now and it's the amazing understanding of christ as king of the universe his kingdom is not here in the way that pilate would understand the kingdom he's actually just a pawn but he's addicted to his power and prestige i can promise you that he's tied to caesar think about his frame of mind he thought he was god divine being sitting on a throne in rome later burned rome burns so does jerusalem his kingdom is not here in that sense however in the christ sense he's cosmically king but of everything and how free we become when finally we get in touch with that truth he says for this i was born that you may have the truth that i may testify to the truth he's the blueprint of everything staring pilate in the face but nobody sees finally there he is on the cross naked bereft last word forgive them they don't know what they're doing then he gives us everything he's got this holy spirit is given the resurrection is accomplished it's a promise for everyone eternal life everything's opened and you are called priest prophet and king when you're baptized you're of the royal family christians when they understand this feel like royalty you feel the grandness and the beauty of everything it's a continual torrent of beauty and goodness the expression of god's self and we stand in it beautifully radiantly as if we're shining like stars or swimming in the sun yes jesus you are a king you are the king of the universe you are the one who was to come into our world as messiah and savior to you lord jesus who are the truth itself i pledge allegiance to your flag now and forever in the name of the father and of the son and of the holy spirit and so do you believe in god the maker the creator the designer the author of the universe and everything in it i do too and do you believe that jesus indeed is the word made flesh that he dwelt among us born of the virgin mary suffering under pontius pilate that he was crucified died and was buried i do too do you believe that jesus who died a death like ours rose from the dead that he ascended into the heights of his full stature as god and that to him alone belongs the divine right to judge anyone the living and the dead i do too do you believe in the holy spirit the holy catholic church the communion of the saints the forgiveness of sins the resurrection of the body and life everlasting i do too this is our faith we celebrate it with great joy on this sublime feast of jesus christ king of the universe with glory and eternal sovereignty the father has established his incarnate son as king of the universe trusting his power and providence we bring now before him our needs for the church that our belief in christ as king will lead us to value the things of god's kingdom more than the things of earth we pray to the lord lord hear our prayer for all people nations and languages that they may come to acknowledge the dominion of jesus christ whose kingship is everlasting we pray to the lord r all who labor under a burden of suffering or grief may they have the grace to carry their cross bravely in the footsteps of the king of kings and know his intimate consolation we pray to the lord lord hear our prayer may we follow the example of christ our king listening to his teaching in every generation and may we be known as people of the truth bearing witness to the message of the gospel in what we profess and in how we live we pray to the lord lord hear our prayer for our celebration of the feast of christ the king that it would

he took bread and giving thanks broke it and gave it to his disciples saying take this all of you and eat of it for this is my body which will be given up for you in a similar way when supper was ended he took the chalice and once more giving thanks he gave it to his disciples saying take this all of you and drink from it for this is the chalice of my blood the blood of the new and eternal covenant which will be poured out for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins do this in memory of me [Music] the mystery of faith [Music] we proclaim your death until you come again therefore as
