ALL CULMINATES IN THE SUPREME KING OF CREATION............

This year the last Sunday of November is not the First Sunday of Advent, but the Solemnity of Christ The King on the Catholic-Christian Liturgical Calendar.  it is wonderful in the United States to be able to complete the ThanksGiving Day weekend, not being rushed into the first Sunday of the new Liturgical Year, but savoring the reality and culmination of the current year and affirming the sovereignty of Jesus Christ, as God and King of the Universe.  Earthly examples of kingship and royalty have dwindled to a very ceremonial  few during the past century plus.  Perhaps the one remaining worldly monarchy remaining with anything more than a semblance of the service and sovereignty such reigns are meant to denote, is found in Queen Elizabeth II, of Great Britain; who for more than 65 years has carried out her role and responsibility, unflinchingly as the changes of time have swirled about her.  Yet as good an example of temporal kingship/queenship her reign has been, it comes no where near the supremacy and perfection of the One, True, and Universal King of Heaven and Earth; Jesus The Christ, the Co-Eternal and Saving Son of the Living and True God of all Creation.  At a time when humble service, loyalty, and fidelity, to human commitments have become more and more conditional, and relationships disposal not durable, the selfless service Jesus provides God's People as the Universal King is a vitally indispensable example now more than ever.  On this 25th Day of November 2012, as persons of Faith, citizens of Fellowship, and as Disciples of Jesus, we lift our hearts and minds in Praise and Honor to the only truly Sovereign King in our lives, Christ The King.  As Americans complete this ThanksGiving weekend, and Catholic-Christians finish the current Liturgical Year, may we and people e\verywhere throughout the World be dedicated to a Sovereign of Truth and Love, that is fully the source of our Salvation and Enlightenment............Fr.  Troy
