O Rex Gentium

The Old Testament title for Jesus on December 22 is:  O Rex Gentium, or in English:  O King of the nations.

Scripturally, the new King will bring Peace.  I love this passage from Isaiah.  As you think of Jesus as King, meditate on this.

"He shall judge between the nations, and shall arbitrate for many peoples; they shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning-hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore." Isaiah 2:4

Here is the Liturgical Antiphone for Today:

O King of the nations, and their desire,
the cornerstone making both one:
Come and save the human race,
which you fashioned from clay.

Peace
