On this last Sunday of the Liturgical Year, we celebrate the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe. It is an important feast and we ask that we might proclaim his praise as well as render service.
I love the Entrance Antiphon which is from Revelation 5: 12; 1:6
"How worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and divinity, and wisdom and strength and honor. To him belong glory and power for ever and ever."
The Collect is "Almighty ever-living God, whose will is to restore all things in your beloved Son, the King of the universe, grant we pray, that the whole creation , set free from slavery, may render your majesty service and ceaselessly proclaim your praise."
The first reading is from the second Book of Samuel 5:1-3
Reponsorial Psalm: "Let us go rejoicing to the house of the Lord.
The second reading is from Paul's Letter to the Colossians 1: 12-20
The Gospel is from Luke 23: 35-43
Christ is King of the Universe - but we still often forget this and this Sunday is a good time to renew out commitment to Christ.
