Christ the King Sunday celebrates Christ as King and Lord of the universe.
This Feast Day is celebrated on the final Sunday of Ordinary Time, the final Sunday before Advent begins.
This year it falls on 22nd November (today).
Jesus is a good king; he looks over us like a caring shepherd, making sure that we are safe and protecting us from harm unlike other dominant rulers. He knows everything about us, there is nothing we can hide.
We would like to share this wonderful resource with you and your families. All of the pieces of scripture used here link to Sunday’s liturgy.
We hope that you find this useful. Please click here for the resource: Christ the King

Prayer to Christ the King:
Lord our God, You alone are the Most Holy King and Ruler of all nations.
We pray to You, Lord, in the great expectation of receiving from You mercy, peace, justice and all good things.
Protect, O Lord our King, our families and our friends.
Forgive us, O Sovereign King, our sins against you.
Jesus, You are a King of Mercy.
We have deserved Your Just Judgment
Have mercy on us, Lord, and forgive us.
We trust in Your Great Mercy.
O most awe-inspiring King, we bow before You and pray;
May Your Reign, Your Kingdom, be recognised on earth.
