Why do we
celebrate
the Feast of
Christ the King?
Thy Kingdom Come!
Dear Parents,
In
just a few weeks we will be ending the Church's liturgical year with the Feast
of Christ the King and opening the new liturgical year with Advent and the
coming of Christ on Christmas. So why do we celebrate the feast of Christ the
King at Everest Academy?
I am sure you have all heard your children say
their prayers and end them with this phrase: "Christ Our
King! Thy Kingdom Come!" Christ is a model for our students
and families and we encourage our students, through spiritual formation, to
experience Christ as a friend and guide in their lives. Christ is the King, the
Lord of History, and the focal point of our faith. By invoking him as King we
also ask that his kingdom comes here on earth through faith, hope and love, and
that one day we may all be with him in his kingdom - heaven. With this phrase we
state that we have a mission in life and someone that unifies us in that
mission.
Each year we come together as a community to
celebrate this great feast. There is a Mass at Holy Name Cathedral and a
reception to follow at US Cellular Field. Families who attend - parents and
children - truly enjoy the festivities and are eager to join us again.
This year, we hope you will join us for this family-friendly
celebration to close this liturgical year and to thank God for all his many
blessings.
Yours in Christ,
Fr.
