Christ the King/Reign of Christ Sunday

Today is also know as the Feast of Christ the King, a Christian holiday that marks the end of the liturgical year and moves us on the threshold of Advent. It celebrates the role of Jesus Christ as the Lord of the world, the church, and our lives. Christ calls us to stand with those who in every age confessed “Jesus Christ is Lord!” Christ alone claims our highest loyalty. The blood of the martyrs, past and present, witnesses to this truth.
