"Your Kingdom Come!  Come Lord Jesus!"

Every day we pray “Your Kingdom Come”, that is the Kingdom of Heaven, the Kingdom that Christ came to establish on earth.  We have been praying for  this since the time of the apostles.  On one hand we may be tempted to look at the world and think, “if only His Kingdom  would come”.  But it does come, it comes slowly, relentlessly, and then, when we are least expecting it, powerfully.  Consider, for example the Christians in the first centuries  enduring difficulty, persecution, even execution and then, almost in the blink of an eye, the whole Roman Empire was Christian!

The Church has had a very difficult time over the past centuries to say the least. Now the time of struggle is surely about to produce a powerful new rebirth throughout the whole world.  It has been promised, so how can we doubt!  Jesus Himself promised St Faustina that the time is near before He comes again.  At Fatima, Our Lady promised that Her Immaculate Heart will triumph.

We are living in a unique time of grace.  God is working powerfully.  His graces are becoming more and more tangible in the lives of believers.  We can feel and sense a great reawakening about to happen.  

Why not be part of His victory, by really embracing our Catholic Faith?  Why not come and proclaim publicly, at St Patrick’s  Cathedral,  East Melbourne, in a grand celebration and procession  on Saturday 21st November that Christ is indeed Our King!  

The afternoon will move quickly to its conclusion. It is a full and interesting programme.  Be sure not to miss any part of it. Come by 6:00 pm  to receive all the graces and blessings from Our generous and heavenly King. 

How  blessed are we to have our humble saviour who gave up His life for us as our King, one who would gladly go through all the pains and humiliations of Calvary again, to bring us into His incredible love.  This is how His Kingship is so special, so beautiful.  Here is a King who is the  creator of the universe and yet He humbles Himself, making Himself almost at our disposal, especially in Holy Communion, in order to be one with us.  Oh Unfathomable goodness and love! 

Is it not right that we should want to honour Him, to glorify Him to praise Him?  How beautiful to do this publicly with a Eucharistic Procession on this wonderful Feast of Christ the King.  What a wonderful way to end our liturgical year! 

 This is our opportunity too to publicly stand and acknowledge Our Lord.  We know what Our Lord promised:  “I tell you, whoever publicly acknowledges me before others, the Son of Man will also acknowledge before the angels of God.” (Luke12:8)  Please be an apostle of Our King, and invite your family members, the youth, parishioners, and your communities to be part of this wonderful celebration. 
If you are in a position to help, please do let us know!  We need people willing to visit 2 or 3 of their local Churches for delivering  fliers and posters.  We need marshals and helpers on the day itself.  Please be generous.  Our Lord can never be outdone in generosity.  He will never forget a single act that is done to help Him to be loved and honoured.
