November 24th Feast of Christ the king
Jesus, praise and glory to You.
Let us all praise You and love You with all of our being.
Let us realize that You truly are the King of Kings, and the
Lord of Lords.
Let us worship You with our whole being.
Let us all be on fire to not only serve You, but be willing to
tell others of our witness of how You came into our lives and
saved us.
Let our witness show Your true power and loving care.
Let us see You in the "Breaking of the Bread" that shows us
the love that came to us from the cross.
Let us all fall down in worship of You and feel that presence
of You in our hearts.
Amen and Amen.
Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday THE LAST KING
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=11/24/2013
"There was an inscription over His head: 'THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.' " -Luke 23:38
On the last Sunday of the Church's year, the Lord is calling us to harvest all the
graces of this past year and express their life-changing power by making the greatest
act of faith we have ever made. The Lord Jesus is calling us to acknowledge Him as
King of kings and Lord of lords even in the worst circumstances. Religious leaders
continue jeering at Jesus as they compromise with the ways of the world (Lk 23:35).
Soldiers still make fun of Jesus and of those who refuse to join them (Lk 23:36).
Criminals persist in blaspheming Jesus (Lk 23:39). Most people, even Christians, just
stand there watching (Lk 23:35). They know if they speak up for Jesus, they may be
crucified too.
However, we must be like the good thief and speak up for Jesus (Lk 23:40). Maybe we'll
be the only ones to acknowledge Jesus as our King. We may even be crucified because we
aren't "going along with the crowd." Nonetheless, we will speak up for Jesus even if
that means repentance, the daily cross (Lk 9:23), rejection, and persecution. We will
rejoice to live as subjects of King Jesus. Then we will be kings and queens ourselves
(1 Pt 2:9; Rv 5:10). Later, we will live with King Jesus forever in paradise (Lk 23:43).
Prayer: King Jesus, may I live no longer for myself but for You (see 2 Cor 5:15).
Promise: "He is before all else that is." -Col 1:17
Praise: Alleluia! King Jesus, we adore You and submit our lives to You.
Monday FIT FOR A KING
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=11/25/2013
"And so they entered the King's service." -Daniel 1:19
Tuesday THE LAST AND ONLY KINGDOM
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=11/26/2013
"The God of heaven will set up a kingdom that shall never be destroyed or delivered up
to another people; rather, it shall break in pieces all these kingdoms and put an end
to them, and it shall stand forever." -Daniel 2:44

MARY-WHO IS SHE IN GOD'S PLAN?
"When the designated time had come, God sent forth His Son born of
a woman." -Galatians 4:4
Catholics and the Orthodox maintain Mary is the most important
human being in God's plan, except for her Son, the God-Man, Jesus.
Others think that by honoring Mary we take away from the worship of
Jesus. However, Catholics and the Orthodox say Mary will lead a
person to Jesus, just as ..................................

Pope Francis, Shepherd of Truth

Notable quotations from Pope Francis and official
teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
MIGRANTS AND REFUGEES
"PARTICULARLY DISTURBING"
Particularly disturbing are those situations where migration is not only involuntary, but
actually set into motion by various forms of human trafficking and enslavement.
"CONFIDENCE AND HOPE"
... Despite the problems, risks and difficulties to be faced, great numbers of migrants
and refugees continue to be inspired by confidence and hope; in their hearts they long
for a better future, not only for themselves but for their families and those closest to
them.
"A BETTER WORLD"
A better world will come about only if attention is first paid to individuals; if human
promotion is integral, taking account of every dimension of the person, including the
spiritual; if no one is neglected, including the poor, the sick, prisoners, the needy and
the stranger (cf. Mt 25:31-46); if we can prove capable of leaving behind a throwaway
culture and embracing one of encounter and acceptance.
