Missionary Cenacle Intentions: We dedicate today to celebrating the manifestation of God in Jesus to all humankind. Today we pray:

That our faith grow in Christ our King, we pray.

That the gifts we offer be acknowledgments of God's loving sovereignty, we pray.

That the feast of Christ the King remind us of the universality of God's love and call, we pray.

For the members of the Missionary Cenacle Apostolate of Espíritu Santo, Bloomington, CA, we pray.

For the members of the Missionary Cenacle, especially our sick, we pray.

For the deceased members of the Missionary Cenacle, especially Mother Boniface Keasey, MSBT, 1931; Sr. Werbergh Garry, MSBT, 1951; Br. Peter Claver Linger, ST, 1972; Fr. Stephen Quinn, ST, 2009, we pray.

Reading: Christ, the King, will hold court throughout the world the last Sunday of the Church Year. He is King by nature and by Divine right and has over us the right of dominion and of tribute. Do not be unmindful of His majesty. Be wise, for a faithful follower of this King becomes a world conqueror. You want peace, but there is no peace apart from Him. You want success, but he who is not with Christ writes his name on the shifting sands of an ocean-washed shore. He is the cornerstone upon which men either build or are dashed to pieces. Be not of those who neither are with Him nor gathereth with Him. (MCM, p. 348)
