"A few months ago, a new heir, Archie
Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, was born to the English throne. There was
much buzz surrounding the revelation of the baby's gender and name. When
the reveal came, it captivated the hearts of not only anglophiles but
of everyone in the world. It seems to have always been this way with
royalty. As Archie grows up and possibly gains more siblings, the world
will continue to follow his every move. Long gone are the days of a
world filled with monarchies, yet we are always fascinated by the idea
of royalty and kingship. As kids, we first learn about these ideas in
books and then dream about becoming a king or queen. We act out being
royal and having power over subjects - usually our siblings! In the human heart, there seems to be a natural desire to be royal.
"Kingship is a theme that weaves in and out of the entire bible. Thus, it is not foreign to the Christian mind. . . ."
In a recent commentary, Brother Juan Macias Marquez, O.P., reflected on our spiritual royalty, a blessing we given a share of through our baptism.
