The Feast of Christ the
King is a moveable feast that occurs on the last Sunday of the
Liturgical year. It is an important feast for all of us! Let’s join in
preparing for this feast with a Novena for Christ the King!
Background on this Feast
This feast day was instituted by Pope Pius XI on December 11th in 1925
within the encyclical letter Quas Primas. The Holy Father was responding
to the fact that the world was becoming increasingly nationalistic and
secular. Governments were claiming more and more allegiance from their
citizens and attempting to replace God.
“While nations insult the beloved name of our Redeemer by suppressing
all mention of it in their conferences and parliaments, we must all the
more loudly proclaim his kingly dignity and power, all the more
universally affirm his rights.” – Quas Primas, 25

Day 2 - Christ the King Novena
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
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.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
