Solemnity of Jesus Christ, King of the Universe - November 26, 2023
Posted by Marie Meza on 11/21/23
Dear friends,
Today we celebrate the solemnity of our Lord Jesus Christ, The King of the Universe. Church and world recognition of the Kingship of Christ over all dominions, this solemnity remains an invitation for us to emulate the virtues and characteristics Jesus displays in the exercise of His Kingship.

Jesus shows us that humility is key to ... Read More »
