CATHOLIC CAMPAIGN FOR HUMAN DEVELOPMENT
REFLECTIONS
NOVEMBER 19 & 20
KINGSHIP
The Collection for the Catholic Campaign for Human Develop-
The book of Samuel recounts for us
today the anointing of David as king
of Israel. It was the elders of Israel who declared David
king that day, but it was God who called David to shepherd Israel. Thus mandated by the citizens of his kingdom
and by his God, David took his place in a long line of
kings.
The apostle Paul speaks to us of kingship as well, but on a
much higher plane: the kingship of Jesus our Lord. As
great as David was, he and all earthly monarchs who
came before and after him in their kingdoms around the
world are minor kings by comparison to the true King.
And lastly, we hear the story of that true King in perhaps
his weakest moment: near death, hanging on a cross,
taunted by a common criminal and by the world at large.

REFLEJOS
REINADO
El libro de Samuel nos relata la unción de David como rey de Israel.
Fueron los ancianos de Israel quienes declararon a David
como rey ese día, pero fue Dios quien llamó a David para
que pastoreara a Israel. Mandado así por los ciudadanos
de su reino y por el Señor, David ocupó su lugar en un
largo linaje de reyes.
El apóstol Pablo también nos habla de realeza, pero en un
plano muy superior: la realeza de Jesús nuestro Señor.
Tan grande como fue David, él y todos los reyes terrenales anteriores y posteriores, en sus reinos, son reyes menores en comparación con el verdadero Rey. Finalmente,
escuchamos el relato del verdadero Rey en, tal vez, su
momento más débil: cerca de la muerte, colgando en una
cruz, insultado por un criminal común y por el mundo en
su totalidad.
