Novena to Christ the King Day 4 | A Kingdom of Friends, Not Servants

Regnum Christi News

℣. Come, let us worship Jesus Christ, the King of kings.

 

℟. Come, let us worship Jesus Christ, the King of kings.

 

℣. The Lord’s is the earth and its fullness, the world and all that is in it. It is he who set it on the seas; on the waters he made it firm.

 

℟. Come, let us worship Jesus Christ, the King of kings.

 

A Kingdom of friends, not servants

 

I do not call you servants any longer, because the servant does not know what the master is doing; but I have called you friends, because I have made known to you everything that I have heard from my Father. You did not choose me but I chose you. And I appointed you to go and bear fruit, fruit that will last, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask him in my name.

John 15:15-16

(moment of silence)

 

Reflection

Christ continually reminds us that his Kingdom is governed by love and not by domination or status. To Christ, making the Kingdom present is not exercising a  demonstration of strength, but of love and genuine concern for the good of the other, in whom Christ himself dwells: “as you did it to one of the least of these, you did it to me” (cf. Mt 25:40).

 

Concluding Prayer

℣. Let us pray:

Lord Jesus, you have called us to be close to you in a particular way through the  spirituality of the Kingdom. Inflame our hearts with your love and give us your understanding and charity toward our brothers and sisters. Through Christ our Lord.

℟. Amen.                                                                                                                                                 

℣. Christ, ruling with love,

℟. Thy Kingdom Come!

Alex Kucera has lived in Atlanta, GA, for the last 46 years. He is one of 9 children, married to his wife Karmen, and has 3 girls, one grandson, and a granddaughter on the way. Alex joined Regnum Christi in 2007. Out of the gate, he joined the Helping Hands Medical Missions apostolate and is still participating today with the Ghana Friendship Mission.

In 2009, Alex was asked to be the Atlanta RC Renewal Coordinator for the Atlanta Locality to help the RC members with the RC renewal process. Alex became a Group Leader in 2012 for four of the Atlanta Men’s Section Teams and continues today. Running in parallel, in 2013, Alex became a Team Leader and shepherded a large team of good men.

Alex was honored to be the Atlanta Mission Coordinator between 2010 to 2022 (12 years), coordinating 5-8 Holy Week Mission teams across Georgia. He also created and coordinated missions at a parish in Athens, GA, for 9 years. Alex continues to coordinate Holy Week Missions, Advent Missions, and Monthly missions at Good Shepherd Catholic Church in Cumming, GA.

From 2016 to 2022, Alex also served as the Men’s Section Assistant in Atlanta. He loved working with the Men’s Section Director, the Legionaries, Consecrated, and Women’s Section leadership teams.

Alex is exceptionally grateful to the Legionaries, Consecrated, and many RC members who he’s journeyed shoulder to shoulder, growing his relationship with Christ and others along the way. He knows that there is only one way, that’s Christ’s Way, with others!
