Solemnity of Christ the King  – November 23rd 2025
Today, we celebrate the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe; we also mark the conclusion of our church calendar year.
As we gather today at God’s invitation, we acknowledge Christ as our King, understanding that God calls us beyond all earthly leaders to a higher allegiance.  We can be comforted in uncertain times knowing that our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, is our ultimate ruler.
Let us also reflect upon God’s Mercy; As we look at the world around us, we recognize that we all need to continue to receive and give the Mercy of God every day of our lives.
