Novena to Christ the King Day 8 | A Kingdom That is Like Leaven in the Dough

℣. Come, let us worship Jesus Christ, the King of kings.

 

℟. Come, let us worship Jesus Christ, the King of kings.

 

℣. The Lord’s is the earth and its fullness, the world and all that is in it. It is he who set it on the seas; on the waters he made it firm.

 

℟. Come, let us worship Jesus Christ, the King of kings.

 

A kingdom that is like leaven in the dough.

 

The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed in with three measures of flour until all of it was leavened.

Matthew 13:33

(moment of silence)

 

Reflection

Christ sent his disciples out among the people to be his representatives and witnesses. After learning from Him, we must be prepared to go out and witness to a life that has been transformed by him, starting with the smallest ways that can actually become transformative, especially when our example begins to touch others.

 

Concluding Prayer

℣. Let us pray:

Lord Jesus, teach us to be courageous in making you present here and now, wherever we are, becoming the leaven of society that is capable of bringing about so many changes with the power of simplicity, and with the strength of your love. Through Christ our Lord.

℟. Amen.                                                                                                                                                 

℣. Christ, reigning in our daily lives,

℟. Thy Kingdom Come!
