Parish Prayer Intentions and Petitions
The Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe,
Thirty-fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time, Cycle A
November 22nd 2020
Today on the Feast of Christ the King we pray that the coming of the kingdom of truth and live, holiness and grace, justice, love and peace may begin in human hearts. As new leaders come to power and others leave, help us all to remember Jesus reveals Himself with the least ones; the naked, the ill, the hungry the oppressed and the imprisoned.
