November 25th 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 GOVERNMENT OF GOD
https://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=11/25/2018
"His dominion is an everlasting dominion that shall not be taken away, His kingship shall not be
destroyed." -Daniel 7:14
In heaven, the form of government in which we shall live eternally will not be a democracy, socialism,
a Communist regime, or that of a tyrannical dictator. Jesus is King, that is, a Monarch, and He is a
benevolent and sovereign Lord. We who believe in King Jesus will spend eternity with a blessed Ruler
(1 Tm 6:15) Who loves us beyond measure.
Even those who have lived in a worldly monarchy or benevolent dictatorship will hardly be able to
relate to the heavenly kingdom, for no one has even begun to imagine what our Ruler has in store for
us (1 Cor 2:9). Earthly kings might be so lavish as to throw a seven-day party (Est 1:5); King Jesus
gives an eternal wedding feast (Rv 19:9). Earthly rulers put to death those who try to kill them
(Est A:13-14); Lord Jesus dies for us as we kill Him (Catechism, 598). Only a few people are allowed
access to earthly rulers; everyone has access to King Jesus (Eph 2:18; Mt 11:28; Jn 6:37). Earthly
rulers lord their authority over their subjects (Mt 20:25); Lord Jesus comes to serve His subjects and
lay down His life out of love for us (Mt 20:28; Lk 22:27; Jn 10:15; 13:5).
Many in our secular world choose to serve gods of sex, money, power, greed, ambition, status, or
wanton pleasure-seeking. Others are imprisoned under the rule of the harsh dictatorship of addiction,
compulsion, abuse. "Decide today whom you will serve" (Jos 24:15). Give your life to Jesus, your King
and Lord.
Prayer: Christ the King, "Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven" (Mt 6:10).
Promise: "Anyone committed to the truth hears My voice." -Jn 18:37
Praise: Praise You, risen Jesus, my Lord, my God, my All. I love You forever. Alleluia!
Monday HOW TO GO TO HEAVEN
https://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=11/26/2018
"I heard a sound from heaven." -Revelation 14:2
Tuesday END TIMING
https://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=11/27/2018
"Now is the time to reap." -Revelation 14:15

Never under-estimate the power of simplicity. The Gospel of Our Lord; reads like a text book primer
for growth in holiness. God supplies the holiness. We supply the willing-ness.
(Anonymous, , 11/24/2018 1:05:43 PM)
Please pray that our mighty God, in the holy name of Jesus Christ our Savior, will remedy a situation
that has dire consequences. Please God show mercy and compassion to erase a moment of weakness in
judgment. St. Michael and the warring angels halt future negative consequences. Blessed Mother Mary,
intercede powerfully. St. Jude, pray for us. Please pray.

presence and a true Christian inside. LORD thank you for the Family gathering that went well. LORD

Please pray urgently for my mother in law. She has been sick with Steven Johnson syndrome for the
past week. This is a very sad condition which happens when the body reacts adversely to medicine due
to low tolerance. Her oxygen levels are going lower and she is on the ventilator. Please pray really
hard.
(Jansi Mary J., katy, TX, United States, 11/24/2018 11:03:08 AM)

Pope Francis, Shepherd of Truth
https://presentationministries.com/pope/fst2018-11.asp?navlink=latest
Notable quotations from Pope Francis and official teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
END HUNGER
WE CAN DO IT
We do indeed have the adequate means and framework so that beautiful words and good wishes may become
an action plan of substance that leads effectively to the eradication of hunger in our world. To this
end we need joint efforts, upright hearts, and persistent concern to firmly and resolutely make the
other's problems one's own.
"LACK OF POLITICAL WILL"
There is a fundamental lack of political will. What is needed is the willingness to end hunger, and
this ultimately will not happen without a moral conviction that is shared by all peoples and all
religious persuasions, where the integral good of the person is at the heart of all initiatives and
consists in "doing to another what we would want done to ourselves."
DON'T BE INDIFFERENT
... These are some reflections I wish to share with those men and women who do not allow themselves
to succumb to indifference; who hear the cry of those who do not have the minimum needed to lead a
dignified life.
(Source: Message for World Food Day 2018, issued 10/16/2018)
