#56 It's a Wonderful Life - Be Frank with God
The liturgical year is coming to a close and in the holy sacrifice of the altar we renew the offering of the victim to the Father — the offering of Christ, the king of justice, love and peace, as we shall read shortly in the preface.[1] You all experience a great joy in your souls as you consider the sacred humanity of our Lord. He is a king with a heart of flesh, like yours; he is the author of the universe and of every creature, but he does not lord it over us.

When I hear that endless clamour — expressed more in ignoble actions than in words — I feel the need to cry out, “He must reign!
