INTENTIONS
Pray for all those who suffer physically, emotionally, or spiritually, that they may find healing and hope in Christ.
MEDITATION
Jesus longs to reign in our hearts and rule our lives. The key question is this: Do I let Him take control? He is not the sort of King who imposes Himself in a dictatorial way. He does not exercise His authority and demand we obey. Of course this will happen in the end, when Jesus returns, but for now His invitation is just that, an invitation. He invites us to give Him Kingship of our lives. He invites us to let Him take full control. If we do that, He will issue commands to us which are commands of love. They are decrees that draw us into truth and beauty. They refresh us and renew us. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
I Confess to You
I confess to almighty God, and to you, my brothers and sisters, that I have sinned through my own fault, in my thoughts and in my words, in what I have done, and in what I have failed to do; and I ask blessed Mary, ever virgin, all the angels and saints, and you, my brothers and sisters, to pray for me to the Lord our God.
Amen.
Come Holy Spirit
Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created. And You shall renew the face of the earth.
O, God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant that by the same Holy Spirit we may be truly wise and ever enjoy His consolations, Through Christ Our Lord, Amen.
The Lord's Prayer
Our Father, Who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not Into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
Hail Mary
Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Opening prayer
Christ Jesus, I acknowledge You King of the universe. All that has been created has been made for You. Make full use of Your rights over me. I renew the promises I made in Baptism, when I renounced Satan and all his pomps and works, and I promise to live a good Christian life and to do all in my power to procure the triumph of the rights of God and Your Church.Divine Heart of Jesus, I offer you my efforts in order to obtain that all hearts may acknowledge your Sacred Royalty, and that thus the Kingdom of Your peace may be established throughout the universe. Amen.
DAY 6 CHRIST THE KING NOVENA
Christ, our Savior and our King, renew in me allegiance to Your Kingship. I pray for the grace to place You above the powers of this world in all things. I pray for the grace to obey You before any civic authority. O Prince of Peace, may Your reign be complete in my life and in the life of the world. Christ, my King, please answer these petitions if they be in accordance with Your Holy Will
[Mention your intentions here]
As I reflect on Your second, glorious coming and the judgement of all mankind, I beg You to show me mercy and give me the grace to become a great saint. I pray that not only will I spend eternity with You but that You may use me a sinner to bring others into Your Kingdom for Your glory. Christ the King, Your Kingdom come! Amen.
A Prayer for Those in Suffering to Find Comfort in Christ's Kingship
Compassionate Lord, In Your gentle and loving way, You invite us to let You reign in our hearts, To surrender to Your Kingship and find solace in Your guidance and love. We pray for all those afflicted by physical, emotional, or spiritual suffering, That they may find healing and hope in Your comforting embrace. You, who are not a forceful dictator, but a merciful and caring King, We humbly ask for Your grace to touch the lives of those in pain, Bringing them relief, strength, and renewal. Grant them the courage to surrender their struggles to You, And the wisdom to heed Your commands of love, Commands that lead to truth, beauty, and inner renewal. As they journey through their trials, may Your presence be their source of comfort, And Your love their guiding light towards healing and restoration. May they feel Your tender touch, bringing peace to their troubled hearts, And may Your hope reignite their spirits with strength and resilience. In Your loving and healing name, Christ our King, we pray. Amen.
