Part Seven

  Dietrich von Hildebrand taught correctly that in a state consisting principally of non-Catholics it is the vocation of Catholics to act as a leaven, but how can they do this when their commitment to the Kingdom of Christ the King is, in most cases, so manifestly interior to that of so many devout Protestants?

  This means that, in re-establishing the reign of Christ the King, our first task must be to re-evangelize the Catholic community. We must fight for orthodox religious instruction in our schools, and above all, for a liturgy in which Our Lord is recognized clearly as our King, and this must be the traditional Mass of the Roman Rite, the Tridentine Mass. The liturgy of the traditional Mass is focused upon God, that in the New Mass is focused upon the community. The reign of Christ. the King cannot be established until He becomes once more the center of our lives.

  Christ is the ruler of the kings of the earth and He must reign ----- Opportet illum regnare. Let us take the first and most important step in dedicating ourselves to re-establishing that reign by implementing in our own lives the requirement for prayer and penance demanded by Our Lady of Fatima. If this is done, and if Russia is consecrated to her Immaculate Heart by the Pope in union with the bishops of the world, she promised that many souls will be saved, Russia will be converted, and there will be peace. Thus her Immaculate Heart will triumph. With the triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary will come the re-establishment of the Kingdom of Christ the King.

  I would like to conclude on a note of optimism. Our Lady has promised that, in the end, her Immaculate Heart will triumph. She has promised this, and she will fulfill what she has promised. This means that without doubt her Son will reign -----  He must reign! 
Opportet illum regnare.

  It is our duty and our privilege to dedicate our lives to re-establishing this reign, to achieving the re-enthronement of Christ the King. Opportet illum regnare.

"He must reign! He must reign!"
