Weekly Meditation
In the spirit of our celebration yesterday throughout the Catholic world of the Feast of Christ the King we can grow in our commitment to Jesus Christ by embracing sincerely what we express in song in our celebrations.
To Jesus Christ, our sovereign King,
Who is the world's salvation,
All praise and homage do we bring
and thanks and adoration.Christ Jesus, Victor!
Christ Jesus, Ruler!
Christ Jesus, Lord and Redeemer!Your reign extend, O King benign,
To every land and nation,
For in your kingdom, Lord divine,
Alone we find salvation.Christ Jesus, Victor!
Christ Jesus, Ruler!
Christ Jesus, Lord and Redeemer!To you and to your Church, great King
We pledge our hearts' oblation;
Until before your throne we sing
In endless jubilation.Christ Jesus, Victor!
Christ Jesus, Ruler!
Christ Jesus, Lord and Redeemer!
As we approach our wonderful national holiday of Thanksgiving let us, even in these difficult and challenging days, be filled with much gratitude for our many blessings and gifts, especially the gifts of life, love, faith, family and country.
