Christ the King—of thieves

Msgr. Charles Pope, Community in Mission

Monday, November 21, 2022

Jesus Christ is King of Thieves, though He never stole. He is savior of sinners, though He never sinned. In a way, we are all thieves. We are all sinners and have used the gifts and things that belong to God in a way contrary to His will. To misuse things that belong to others is a form of theft.
