About today

On the last Sunday of the liturgical year the Church confesses Christ as King: not a slogan of earthly power, but the crucified and risen Lord before whom the nations will be gathered. His kingdom is justice, love, and peace; it is not from this world, yet it claims this world. Ask today to belong to that kingdom more than to our smaller loyalties, and to see the least of his brothers and sisters as the place where the King still waits.

He who dwells in the assistance of the Most High will abide in the protection of the God of heaven. He will say to the Lord, “You are my supporter and my refuge.” My God, I will hope in him. His truth will surround you with a shield. You will not be afraid: before the terror of the night, before the arrow flying in the day, before the business walking in darkness, nor of the invasion and the midday demon.
