Our Lord Jesus Christ, Universal King

Jesus said to Pilate: 'All who are on the side of truth listen to my voice'. We celebrate Christ as King, not in the sense of the world around us, which would look to power and strength, but as the one who has the true power of truth. In him we know God as one who loves us so much that he has given us his only Son to bring us to a knowledge of his love. In Christ we also come to know the deepest truths about ourselves - that every human person is made in the image of God; that each of us is a dwelling place of God's Holy Spirit; that we are destined for eternal life; that the only way to live human life fully is to love God with our whole hearts and to love our neighbour as ourselves. It has been said that Christianity has not so much failed, as it has never been tried!

Fr. Johnny Doherty, C.Ss.R

Our Lord Jesus Christ, Universal King

 

First Reading Daniel 7: 13-14
The prophet Daniel foresees the coming of one who will have dominion over all peoples. Christians see this as a reference to Christ, the Universal King.

 

Second Reading Apocalypse 1: 5-8
Christ will take full possession of his Kingdom only at the end of time.

 

Gospel John 18: 33-37
Jesus declares before Pilate that he is indeed a King,
but that his Kingdom is not like the kingdoms of this world.


 

 

Ministers of the Word & Ministers of the Eucharist


Ministers of the Word (Readers) and Ministers of the Eucharist will be commissioned at all Masses in the Parish on the weekend of 5 / 6 December.

 

In preparation for the commissioning, ALL ministers (existing ministers and new ministers) in the parish are asked to come to a reflection evening. It is hoped that these evenings will help us to have a deeper understanding of what we do as Ministers of the Word and Ministers of the Eucharist.

 

For Ministers of the Word on Tuesday 1 December


For Ministers of the Eucharist on Thursday 3 December

 

Each Reflection evening will be held in Christ the King Church from 7.30 - 9pm. Tea/coffee/refreshments will be served.

 

 

 

 

 


Becoming The Beloved: (Spiritual Living in Today’s World). This special retreat ,with prayer and reflections, continues this Monday night after 7.30pm Mass in Christ the King Church and every Monday night until Sunday 13th December. Tea/coffee will be available afterwards.

A Night in November

 

- in St. Eugene's Parochial Hall Newtownstewart on Tuesday 24th Nov. @ 8.00pm. A one man play based on the notorious events surrounding the World Cup qualifying match between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland at Windsor Park in 1993. The match took place in the wake of the Shankill and Greysteel massacres and sectarian chants from the crowd cut through the stadium. The play, which is part comedy/part tragedy, follows Kenneth McAllister a Protestant dole clerk who was at the match and how it changed his life forever. Don't miss it!
