November 26th 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 COME KING, JUDGE, LOVE, GOD!
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=11/26/2017
"When the Son of Man comes in His glory, escorted by all the angels of heaven, He will sit
upon His royal throne, and all the nations will be assembled before Him." -Matthew 25:31-32
Over 2,500 years ago, Ezekiel prophesied: "As for you, my sheep, says the Lord God, I will
judge between one sheep and another, between rams and goats" (Ez 34:17). Jesus announced
that it would be ultimately fulfilled at the end of the world when He comes again as the
King of kings to judge the living and the dead (Mt 25:32).
On that last day, Jesus will say to some: "Come. You have My Father's blessing! Inherit the
kingdom prepared for you from the creation of the world" (Mt 25:34). Others will hear the
terrifying words: "Out of My sight, you condemned, into that everlasting fire prepared for
the devil and his angels!" (Mt 25:41) This Last Judgment will be based on:
- primarily God's grace, mercy, and love,
- what we've done for the least of the brethren (Mt 25:40, 45),
- our repentance (see Mk 1:15),
- our faith (Eph 2:8), and
- our love (1 Cor 13:1-3; Mt 22:37-39).
In summary, King Jesus will judge us based on our doing of His Father's will (Mt 7:21) and
whether we have lost our lives to be His disciples (Lk 9:24).
King Jesus is going to return to love and judge us. We don't know the day of His return
(Mt 25:13). Therefore, it could be today. Are you ready for King Jesus' return? Are you
looking forward to Judgment Day? (see 1 Jn 4:17) Come, King Jesus!
Prayer: Father, may I be with You as soon as possible.
Promise: "In Christ all will come to life again." -1 Cor 15:22
Praise: Crucified as King of the Jews, Jesus rose as King of kings. All hail, King Jesus! Alleluia!
Monday THE "ALL" CALL
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=11/27/2017
"They make contributions out of their surplus, but she from her want has given what she
could not afford - every penny she had to live on." -Luke 21:4
Tuesday CHRISTIAN MARRIAGE: HOPE FOR THE FUTURE
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=11/28/2017
"The great God has revealed to the king what shall be in the future; this is exactly what
you dreamed, and its meaning is sure." -Daniel 2:45

Pope Francis, Shepherd of Truth

Notable quotations from Pope Francis and official teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
MIGRANTS AND REFUGEES
"MANY CHALLENGES"
This is a great responsibility, which the Church intends to share with all believers and men
and women of good will, who are called to respond to the many challenges of contemporary
migration with generosity, promptness, wisdom and foresight, each according to their own
abilities.
"OUR SHARED RESPONSE"
... I wish to reaffirm that "our shared response may be articulated by four verbs: to welcome,
to protect, to promote and to integrate."
WELCOME, PROTECT
... Welcoming means... offering broader options for migrants and refugees to enter destination
countries safely and legally... Protecting ... may be understood as a series of steps intended
to defend the rights and rights and dignity of migrants and refugees, independent of their
legal status.
(Source: Message for World Day of Migrants and Refugees, issued 8/15/17)
