A Prayer on the Feast of Christ, the King

Happy Feast of Christ the King!

On this last Sunday before Advent, may Christ be King of all of our hearts, for He is Creator and King of the Universe.

Today, we celebrated with brunch with friends.  We have so much for which to be thankful, and it was a great way to kick off Thanksgiving week.

Below is the beautiful final prayer of the Christ the King Novena.  

(You can find this prayer and all the other prayers from the Novena at PrayMoreNovenas.com . )

It is a perfect prayer for today:

Christ, our Savior and our King, renew in me allegiance to Your Kingship.

I pray for the grace to place You above the powers of this world in all things.
I pray for the grace to obey You before any civic authority.
I pray for the grace to fervently bring about Your Kingdom in my family and community.
I pray that You will reign in my mind.
I pray that You will reign in my heart.
I pray that You will reign in my will.
I pray that You will reign in my body.
I pray that You will reign throughout the world.
I pray that You will reign in every area of my life.

O Prince of Peace, may Your reign be complete in my life and in the life of the world. Christ, my King, please answer my petitions if they be in accordance with Your Holy Will…

As I reflect on Your second, glorious coming and the judgement of all mankind, I beg You to show me mercy and give me the grace to become a great saint. I pray that not only will I spend eternity with You but that You may use me – a sinner – to bring others into Your Kingdom for Your glory.  Christ the King, Your Kingdom come!

Amen.

Happily Ever,
Queen B
