JESUS CHRIST KING OF THE UNVERSE "If to Christ our Lord is given all power in heaven and on earth; if all men, purchased by his precious blood, are by a new right subjected to his dominion; if this power embraces all men, it must be clear that not one of our faculties is exempt from his empire. He must reign in our minds, which should assent with perfect submission and firm belief to revealed truths and to the doctrines of Christ. He must reign in our wills, which should obey the laws and precepts of God. He must reign in our hearts, which should spurn natural desires and love God above all things, and cleave to him alone. He must reign in our bodies and in our members, which should serve as instruments for the interior sanctification of our souls, or to use the words of the Apostle Paul, as instruments of justice unto God." Pope Pius XI

We are grateful for our Catholic schools and pray that the Holy Spirit intercedes for them. Novena for Catholic Education Sunday The Novena for Catholic Education Sunday is a traditional prayer to the Holy Spirit. To make it more dynamic in the community of the classroom, the Novena employs a liturgical dialogue and the Glory be. The introduction is inspired by this year’s theme for Catholic Education Sunday. We are grateful for our Catholic Schools. Let us unite in prayer that the Holy Spirit may intercede for Catholic Education throughout Alberta by praying this traditional prayer daily from October 25 until November 2, 2019. Leader: Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful. All: And kindle in them the fire of your love. Leader: Send forth your Spirit, and they shall be created, All: And you will renew the face of the earth. Leader: Let us pray: All: Lord, by the light of the Holy Spirit you have taught the hearts of your faithful. In the same Spirit help us to attain our happiness in what is right and to always rejoice in your peace and consolation. May you inspire Catholic Education with the wisdom of the Holy Spirit that it may remain faithful to your teachings and committed to living the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen. Leader: Glory be to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit: All: as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.
