CALENDAR OF EVENTS

HAVE A SAFE AND HAPPY THANKSGIVING

OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST KING OF THE UNIVERSE-

SOLEMN ITY

CHRIST IS KING OF THE COSMOS OVER WHICH HE HAS ALL

POWER, AUTHORITY AND DOMINION

The catechism instructs that the Christ, “human history and indeed all creation are “set forth” and transcendently fulfilled.” The feast of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe, marks the Church’s celebration of Christ’s triumph. As faithful disciples, we can rest assured that with him, in him and through him we have a share in his triumph and his glory.

"Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. But when these signs begin to happen, stand erect and raise your heads because your redemption is at hand." - Lk

Dear Lord, on this Thanksgiving Day,

please bring us not only good food and memories but help us remember that it is you we are thanking.

When we enjoy our meal with our relatives, may we thank you, who brings all food from the earth. When we enjoy the company of relatives and friends,

may we thank you, the source of all life and happiness. And when we pray our prayer of blessing,

may our hearts be on you, who is the source of all holiness, joy,

and every blessing that is showered on us. Amen.

VOCATIONS

Today we hail Christ as our king, the victor over the power of death. This Jesus, who loves us and freed us from our sins by his own blood, and who by Baptism has made us a royal nation of priests in the service of His God and Father. He who is King, continues to choose men and women to serve as priests, deacons, sisters, and brothers, so that the faithful may know Him, love Him, and serve Him as well.

If you feel God is calling you to such a Church vocation, call Father Andrew Lauricella at 847-5535. You can also check out the “Priest of the Month” stories at our website www.buffalovocations.org.
