Solemnity of Christ the King

"Eighty and six years have I served Him, and He never did me any injury: how then can I blaspheme my King and my Saviour?"

─From The Martyrdom of St. Polycarp, Chap. 9. (Answer of Polycarp when he was told to revile Christ)

“The true Christ, the divinely inspired and heavenly Word, who is the only high priest of all, and the only King of every creature, and the Father's only supreme prophet of prophets.”

─Eusebius of Caesarea (c. 265 - c. 340): Ecclesiastical History, Bk. 1, Ch. 3, 8.
