We want to share with you this excerpt from one of the sermons to give our holy Founder the occasion of the Feast of Christ the King
said Pilate: Then you are a king? Jesus answered, Thou hast said, I am King. "Jn 18, 37
Pilate did write on the cross:" Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews "Jesus is Savior, so that he died to be Savior and to save had to die. King of the Jews, it means that he is King and Savior at a time. Jewish means "confessing" and therefore is King, but only the Jews, or only of those who confess. To rescue those who confess, has died. Yes, truly dead. And with death on a cross. So there are the causes of the death of Jesus Christ. First, it is Salvador, Santo and King, the second because I wanted to redeem those who will confess, that means the word Jew, Pilate wrote the title on the cross, which he did by divine inspiration. His vocation has been that, that of being Salvador, which is why he put so much effort in proving to the men and not only through the Patriarchs and Prophets, but he did himself, and oddly enough, even at times has used for it from the mouth of the wicked and the greatest villains ... And how to fight our God to demonstrate the true calling of His Son! Pilate said many times that our Lord was innocent and that there was no reason to kill him, said publicly that although he condemned, he knew he was not guilty and had to be some other unknown causes Pilate.
only Love is paid with love, so our Lord to return love for love and praise and blessings, all that we owe him for his passion and death, I have to confess as our liberator, our Savior and our King.
(Sermón. X, 360)
