Homily given at the 8:45 a.m. Mass on Sunday, November 25, 2012, the Solemnity of Christ the King, by Fr. Ed Fride, Pastor, Christ the King Catholic Church. Fr. Ed asks, Is Christ the King of your life? He reminds us of two important aspects of our King: His omnipotence and His benevolence. We need to know that our King is all-powerful and that He loves each one of us beyond reason. What are the practical things that we should do to surrender more fully to His reign? Key words: Christ the King, surrender to God |

Homily given at the 11:30 a.m. Mass on Sunday, November 18, 2012, the 33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time, by Fr. Ed Fride, Pastor, Christ the King Catholic Church. Christians have speculated about when the Lord Jesus will return since He ascended to Heaven. Instead of speculating, we should always be ready for Him to return, either at the Second Coming or at the moment of our death. If He is reigning in our lives, we can look forward to His return. Do we choose every day to let Him reign in us? Key words: surrender to God, trust |
