World Youth Day – November 23 – Instituted in 1985 at the conclusion of the International Year of Youth and in conjunction with Saint John Paul II’s World Youth Day gatherings, this observance has taken place on Palm Sunday. In 2020 Pope Francis transferred the date to the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe. “Young people must say to the world: It is good to follow Jesus! You bring us the joy of faith and tell us that we must live the faith always with a young heart.” Pope Francis Taken from Ordo page 273 About Today’s Solemnity – We end the liturgical year with the celebration of the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe. While our prayers on this day speak in praise of his majesty and glory, we also remember that we serve a humble king who reigns through service and self-emptying love. Today’s solemnity invites us to embrace his vision of justice and truth, that we might be transformed more and more into subjects fit for his heavenly kingdom. The 2025 Bishop’s Annual Appeal – Please support the Bishop’s Annual Appeal.

Scripture Insights – Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe Taken from Source Book for Sundays, Seasons and Weekdays 2025: The Almanac for Pastoral Liturgy, LTP Liturgy Training Publications Copyright 2024, 3949 South Racine Avenue, Chicago, IL 60609, pg. 384. In the selection from the Second Book of Samuel, we hear that David was both recognized by the people and appointed by God to be king of Israel. The responsorial psalm emphasizes the great delight that Israel had in visiting their holy city, Jerusalem, the home of both the united monarchy, established with King David, and the temple, built by the son of David, King Solomon. The song is one of tremendous delight! Luke’s Gospel text for today’s feast invites us to consider what it means for Jesus to be king. He is on the cross. He has been crucified. While Jesus hangs there, the rulers and the soldiers sneer at him, and above his head the inscription reads, “This is the King of the Jews.” The scene is filled with irony. Those who use this title for Jesus do so to mock him. Yet all the while, we and one of the criminals know the truth. Jesus is, indeed, the King of the Jews. This is no ordinary kingship. The kingship of Jesus, the Christ, is made known not in extravagant robes and ceremonies but in the embrace and the humiliation of the cross. · By our baptism, we share in the royalty of Christ. Even the man crucified by his side was promised admittance to this royal line. By embracing this posture, how does our care for ourselves and others change?
