A Prayer for the Solemnity of Christ the King

Christ the King,

a humble servant,

a faithful companion,

a hope bearer

you truly show us 

what it means to be a king.

Christ the King,

you who are 

The Way

The Truth

The Life

guide us in the ways 

of your kingdom.

Christ the King,

as this year draws to a close

instill in us your peace,

pour on us your mercy,

fill us with your love,

so we may be builders with you

of your everlasting kingdom.

Christ the King,

in a world which seems so uncertain,

guide us in kingdom actions,

so your kingdom may come here in certainty, 

knowing it is solid and secure.

Christ the King,

we come to you with hearts full of praise

today, tomorrow and forever.

Amen.
