Blessed is He who comes in the name
of the Lord!
Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that is to
come!
Jesus is the ultimate Davidic king, the fulfillment of the covenant oath God swore to David that a king would arise from his line, a king who would reign forever. The Davidic kingdom would return in more glory than David himself could ever imagine, for it would be the Kingdom of God.
This is what we proclaim in today's Gospel acclamation on Christ the King Sunday. Jesus comes in the name of the Lord, for He is the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity, the Son of God, one with the Father and the Holy Spirit. He comes to unite us to the Trinity through grace and through the indwelling presence of God in our souls.
So we proclaim Him blessed as He blesses us, and we proclaim the kingdom of God that has come, is coming, and will come definitively at the end of time.
