SOLEMNITY OF CHRIST THE KING


CHRIST THE KING - LAST SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME


MY PRAYER

That each day I draw closer to you Lord
That each day my heart be like that of my Lord Jesus Christ
That each day I grow in holiness
That each day cares and worries do
not take control of my life
That each day my knowledge of you increases
That each day I see you in all creatures
That each day I grow in humility.

My prayer to you Lord that I am what you desire me to be.

LAST SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

CHRIST THE KING

Invitatory:           Lord, open my lips

Ant.                        Come, let us worship Christ,  the King of kings

Glory be to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Alleluia

Ant.  A man will come whose name is the Dayspring;
         from his throne he will rule over all; he will speak of peace to the nations
 
Psalm 63:2-9       A soul thirsting for God

O God, you are my God; at dawn I seek you, for you my soul is thirsting.
For you my flesh is pining, like a dry, weary land without water.
I have come before you in the holy place, to behold your strength and your glory.

Your loving mercy is better than life, my lips will speak your praise.
I will bless you all my life, in your name I will lift up my hand.
My soul shall be filled as with a banquet; with joyful my mouth shall praise you.

When I remember you upon my bed, I muse on you through the watches of the night.
For you have been my strength, in the shadow of your wings I rejoice.
My soul clings fast to you; your right hand upholds me.

Ant. 2     They will sing his priases to the ends of the earth, and he will be their peace

Cant. Daniel 3:57-86

Bless the Lord, all you works of the Lord, praise and highly exalt him for ever.
Heavens, bless the Lord, praise and highly exalt him for ever.

Angels of the Lord, bless the Lord, praise and highly exalt him for ever.
All waters above the heavens, bless the Lord, praise and highly exalt him for ever.

All powers of the Lord, bless the Lord, praise and highly exalt him for ever.
Sun and moon, bless the Lord, praise and highly exalt him for ever.

Stars of heaven, bless the Lord, praise and highly exalt him for ever.
Every shower and dew, bless the Lord, praise and highly exalt him for ever……

Ant. 3     The Lord will give him power and honour and kingship; all peoples,
               tribes and nations will serve him

Psalm 149

Sing a new song to the Lord, his praise in the assembly of the faithful.
Let Israel rejoice in its Maker, let Zion’s children exult in their king.
Let them praise his name with dancing, and make music with timbrel and harp.

For the Lord takes delight in his people, he crowns the poor with salvation.
Let the faithful rejoice in glory, shout with joy on their couches.
Let the praise of God be in their mouths, and a two-edged sword in their hand.

Chantez pour le Seigneur un chant nouveau: chantez sa louange dans l’assemblée des fidèles
Qu’Israël se réjouisse de son Auteur, que les fils de Sion fêtent leur roi.
Qu’ils louent son nom par la danse, qu’ils jouent pour lui du tambour et de la cithare

Car le Seigneur favorise son peuple, il pare de victoire les humbles.
Que les fidèles exultent en rendant gloire, que sur leurs nattes ils cirent de joie.
Exaltant Dieu a pleine gosier, tenant en main l’épée a deux tranchants.
Tirer vengeance des nations et châtier les peuples, enchainer leur rois,
exécuter contre eux la sentence écrite, c’est l’honneur de tous ses fidèles !


Reflection:           Eph. 4: 15-16

Living the truth in love, we should grow in every way into him who is the head, Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, with the proper functioning of each part, brings about the body’s growth and builds itself up in love.

Responsory:        Your Saints, O Lord, will tell of the glory of your kingdom.
                


Benedictus Ant:  He fashioned us into a kingdom for the glory of his God and Father;  he is the
                              firstbone of the dead and the leader of all the kings of the earth, alleluia

Prayer:                 Almighty and merciful God, you break the power of evil and make all things new in
                             your Son Jesus Christ, the king of the universe.  May all in heaven and earth proclaim 
                             your glory and never cease to praise you.  We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ,
                             your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, on God, for ever and ever.
