Lectionary Preaching Workbook
Series III
In the homiletical studies for the Lectionary Preaching Workbook III, Cycle A, it was pointed out that this Sunday was first named in the Roman Catholic Ordo, and that it "firmly reinforces the eschatological framework of the church year, closing the gap between the Ascension of our Lord and the end of the Pentecost cycle." All of the Sundays between the Ascension and Christ the King Sunday reflect the fact that in the Ascension Jesus has begun his reign.
