Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe
Almighty God, You give us Christ, the Lord of all creation, as Food for everlasting life. Help us to live by His Gospel, and bring us to the joy of eternal union with Him. Amen.
Luke 23:35-43
The rulers sneered at Jesus and said,
“He saved others, let him save himself
if he is the chosen one, the Christ of God.”
Even the soldiers jeered at him.
As they approached to offer him wine they called out,
“If you are King of the Jews, save yourself.”
Above him there was an inscription that read,
“This is the King of the Jews.”
Now one of the criminals hanging there reviled Jesus, saying,
“Are you not the Christ?
Save yourself and us.”
The other, however, rebuking him, said in reply,
“Have you no fear of God,
for you are subject to the same condemnation?
And indeed, we have been condemned justly,
for the sentence we received corresponds to our crimes,
but this man has done nothing criminal.”
Then he said,
“Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.”
He replied to him,
“Amen, I say to you,
today you will be with me in Paradise.”

Nuestro Señor Jesucristo, Rey del Universo
Dios todopoderoso, Tú nos entregas a Cristo, el Señor de toda la creación, como alimento para la vida eterna. Ayúdanos a vivir según su Evangelio, y haznos llegar a la alegría de la unión eterna con Él. Amén.
Luke 23, 35-43
Cuando Jesús estaba ya crucificado, las autoridades le hacían muecas, diciendo: “A otros ha salvado; que se salve a sí mismo, si él es el Mesías de Dios, el elegido”.
También los soldados se burlaban de Jesús, y acercándose a él, le ofrecían vinagre y le decían: “Si tú eres el rey de los judíos, sálvate a ti mismo”. Había, en efecto, sobre la cruz, un letrero en griego, latín y hebreo, que decía: “Éste es el rey de los judíos”.
Uno de los malhechores crucificados insultaba a Jesús, diciéndole: “Si tú eres el Mesías, sálvate a ti mismo y a nosotros”. Pero el otro le reclamaba, indignado: “¿Ni siquiera temes tú a Dios, estando en el mismo suplicio? Nosotros justamente recibimos el pago de lo que hicimos. Pero éste ningún mal ha hecho”. Y le decía a Jesús: “Señor, cuando llegues a tu Reino, acuérdate de mí”. Jesús le respondió: “Yo te aseguro que hoy estarás conmigo en el paraíso”.
