MASS PREPARATION: Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe November 24, 2024

Updated: Nov 23


This is the LAST Sunday of the Catholic Liturgical Year. This Sunday we celebrate Our Lord Jesus Christ as King of the Universe.



LITURGY OF THE WORD


This is the part of the mass where we hear readings from the BIBLE.

The BIble is an important way that God teaches us.

The Bible is not a regular book. It is rather a book tht the Holy Spirit wrote with human authors.







FIRST READING

Old Testament: Daniel 7: 13-14


RESPONSORIAL PSALM:

PSALM 93

The Lord is king; he is robed in majesty.


SECOND READING I

New Testament: Revelation 1:5-8


GOSPEL

John 18: 33b-37



Our GOSPEL reading is from the Gospel of John 18:33b-37


Deacon: The Lord be with you

We say: And with your Spirit.


Deacon: A reading from the Gospel of John

We say; Glory to you O Lord

(Make the sign of the cross on your forerhead, your lips, and on your heart as you say these words as a prayer to God that His WORD would be in our minds, in the words we speak and and deep in our hearts.


A Reading from the Gospel of John 18:33b-37:

The Trial Before Pilate

Pilate said to Jesus, “Are you the King of the Jews?”


Jesus answered, “Do you say this on your own or have others told


you about me?”


Pilate answered, “I am not a Jew, am I?


Your own nation and the chief priests handed you over to me.


What have you done?”


Jesus answered, “My kingdom does not belong to this world. If my


kingdom did belong to this world, my attendants would be fighting to


keep me from being handed over to the Jews.


But as it is, my kingdom is not here.”


So Pilate said to him, “Then you are a king?”


Jesus answered, “You say I am a king.


For this I was born and for this I came into the world,


to testify to the truth.


Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice.


Deacon: The GOSPEL of the LORD

We say: Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ


HOMILY


The priest or deacon helps us to understand what Jesus is teaching us through his WORD and how we can become holy through the readings. Listen carefully.


Can you think of one way to grow in holiness this week?
