Today is the Feast of Christ the King, the final Sunday of the church year. The message of this Feast is simple. “Our King is Christ!”
O Jesus, our Eternal King, reign in our hearts.
O Jesus, Most Merciful King, reign in our hearts.

Closing Prayer
As we come to the end of this month focused on justice, let us pray…
Grant us, Lord God, a vision of your world as your love would have it:
a world where the weak are protected, and none go hungry or poor;
a world where the riches of creation are shared, and everyone can enjoy them;
a world where different races and cultures live in harmony and mutual respect;
a world where peace is built with justice, and justice is guided by love.
Give us the inspiration and courage to build it, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
St. Mark, pray for us.
Wishing you a fantastic week!
Sincerely,
C. Quadrini, Principal
