22 November 2015 The Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ King of the Universe VIVO CRISTO REY! LONG LIVE CHRIST THE KING! After World War I, Europe lay in ruins. Totalitarian movements were on the rise, much like the Islamic State today. Christians were being executed. Faced with this turmoil, Pope Pius XI countered in 1925 by establishing today s Feast of Christ the King. Pope Pius XI was sending the message that there was one who was more powerful than any political leader or movement, and that one was, and is, Jesus Christ the King! Father Paul Pluth This is my Father s world, oh, let me not forget, that though the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the ruler yet. This is my Father s world, why should my heart be sad? The Lord is King, let the heavens ring! God reigns, let earth be glad.
