​Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe - November 23, 2025
Our first reading today takes us back to when the elders of the twelve tribes of Israel anointed David king. In the second reading we hear an early church prayer, extolling Jesus in words like the ones we recite today in the creed. The Gospel offers two very different ways in which the men condemned with Jesus viewed the inscription on his cross. In harmony with the good thief, may we sing out in today's responsorial psalm. "Let us go rejoicing to the house of the Lord."
