Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Jul 9, 2017

Yes, Jesus Is Certainly Lord And King

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 18, 2024

Our solemnity today is that of Christ the King. When we claim that Christ is the King of the Universe, we support that claim with a passage that seems to be quite crazy.

Christ the King Once upon a time in a land not far from here, there was a choice to be made for the leader of the land. A woman was placed in contention for the prime leader of the whole nation. Her platform was not well-defined, but one thing was clear from every word out of her mouth. She had no ...read more

Walking The Road To Bethlehem: Mary Learns She Will Bear The Son Of God

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Apr 2, 2021
