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.
Thanks to You, Lord, for loving us totally.

One Bread, One Body
This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday "ON YOUR OWN"
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=11/25/2012
"Are you saying this on your own, or have others been telling you about Me?" -John 18:34
Jesus was put to death on the cross because He claimed to be the King of the Jews. Since
that was Jesus' crime, it was inscribed in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek above His head on the
cross (Jn 19:19-20).
On the feast of Christ the King, are you saying "on your own" (Jn 18:34) that Jesus is
King or are you just observing the traditions of the Church by reading, praying, and
singing "King-things" out of the missalette or songbook? If you are accepting "on your
own" that Jesus is the King, you will be rejected and persecuted as He was. Because Jesus
is not just a king but the King of kings (see Rv 1:5), He and His followers are a threat
to all other kings and rulers, unless these acknowledge His supremacy. Therefore, He was
crucified, and His subjects share in His sufferings (see Phil 3:10).
To celebrate today's feast day without hypocrisy, to truly accept Jesus as King, you must
love Him enough to live and die for Him by giving everything to purchase the precious
pearl of His kingdom (Mt 13:44, 46). Will you celebrate Christ the King on your own, or
will you merely mouth what others tell you to say?
Prayer: King Jesus, I live and die for love of You alone.
Promise: "His dominion is an everlasting dominion that shall not be taken away, His
kingship shall not be destroyed." -Dn 7:14
Praise: "Sing praise to our King, sing praise. For the King of all the earth is God, sing
praise" (Ps 47:7-8). Praise Jesus, enthroned forever as King!
Monday THE NEW SONG
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=11/26/2012
"They were singing a new hymn before the throne, in the presence of the four living
creatures and the elders. This hymn no one could learn except the hundred and forty-four
thousand who had been ransomed from the world." -Revelation 14:3
Tuesday INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=11/27/2012
"Use your sickle and cut down the harvest, for now is the time to reap; the earth's
harvest is fully ripe." -Revelation 14:15

I've wanted to find love since I hit puberty. I've been saying the same prayers for
nearly a year, and little has changed. I'm still single, never had a date in my life.
Everywhere I look I see couples, and it's driving me insane. I don't care if I'm ready
to be in a relationship or not, I need someone in my life, not just anyone, I need
someone that will make every year I've waited, every prayer I've said, and every tear
I've cried worth it.
(Robert, Granger, IN, United States, 11/24/2012 1:01:39 PM)
Jesus, Mary, I Love You, please Save Souls. Amen. (Anonymous, 11/24/2012 12:34:42 PM)

Pope Benedict XVI, Shepherd of Truth
http://presentationministries.com/BST/bst2012-11.asp?navlink=latest
Notable quotations from Pope Benedict XVI and official
teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
VATICAN II AND FAITH
"ONGOING VITALITY"
...aggiornamento does not mean a break with tradition, but expresses its ongoing
vitality; it does not mean reducing the faith, debasing it to the fashion of the times,
measured by what pleases us, by what pleases public opinion, but it is the contrary:
exactly as the Council Fathers did, we must bring the "today" that we live to the
standard of the Christian event, we must bring the "today" of our time to the "today"
of God.
"TIME OF GRACE"
The Council was a time of grace in which the Holy Spirit taught us that the Church, in
her journey through history, must always speak to the people of today. But this can
only happen through the strength of those who are deeply rooted in God, who allow
themselves to be guided by Him and live out their faith with purity.
CALLED TO HOLINESS
The Council ... stated that everyone in the Church is called to holiness... Holiness
reveals the true face of the Church, it ushers the eternal "today" of God into the
"today" of our life, into the "today" of the people of our time.
(Sources: Homily, 10/11/12; Address to Council participants and presidents of episcopal conferences, 10/12/12)
