DAY 1\u00a0 |<\/span><\/b> \u00a0<\/span>Friday, November 12, 2021<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Christ the King,\u00a0our\u00a0friend,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>goes out to meet us<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Opening prayer<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

Jesus Christ, as we prepare to celebrate your feast as King\u00a0of the universe, we want to accept your invitation to be your friends, so that you may reign in our hearts and in the whole world.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIn this is love: not that we have loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as expiation for our sins\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/b>(<\/span>1 Jn<\/span><\/i>\u00a04:\u00a010).<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The God of Christians is the God of encounter, the God who became man to live with us, in our reality. He is the God who reveals his Name, who shows us his face, who takes on a body. The God who wants to have a relationship with us and created us with the ability to dialogue and commune with Him. That is why he seeks us and is not satisfied with remaining distant and unknown.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Jesus Christ, you have loved us first and you go out every day to meet us because you want to be our friend, without our having done anything to deserve it. We ask you for the grace to allow your love to meet us and to go out to meet those who have need of us.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Closing prayer<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

\u00a0Jesus Christ, our Lord and King, we are happy because we are yours and because you have called us to share in the greatest and most beloved desires of your heart. In response to the\u00a0love\u00a0you have shown us, we\u00a0come\u00a0to pledge our friendship to you.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We are yours, Lord, and yours we want to be. We offer our lives so that all people might know and love you; because we want you to reign in their hearts.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

By ourselves, Lord, we can do nothing; but we know that you are always with us. \u00a0You also give us your Blessed Mother to be our mother too. In her presence and under her\u00a0protection;\u00a0we offer you, Lord, our youth and our fidelity.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Christ the King, our friend,\u00a0come reign in our hearts and in the\u00a0whole world!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

DAY 2\u00a0 |\u00a0 <\/span><\/b>Saturday, November 13, 2021<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Christ the King, our friend,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>looks on us with love<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Opening prayer<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

Jesus Christ, as we prepare to celebrate your feast as King of the universe, we want to accept your invitation to be your friends, so that you may reign in our hearts and in the whole world.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Then Jesus straightened up and said to her, \u201cWoman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?\u201d She replied, \u201cNo one, sir.\u201d Then Jesus said, \u201cNeither do I condemn you. Go, and from now on do not sin anymore\u201d<\/span><\/b>\u00a0(<\/span>Jn<\/span><\/i>\u00a08:\u00a010-11).<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cJesus\u2019 gaze goes beyond sins and prejudices.\u2026\u00a0he does not stop at\u00a0appearances, but\u00a0looks at the heart.\u201d\u00a0Pope\u00a0Francis,\u00a0Angelus\u00a010\/30\/2016.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The gaze of Jesus\u00a0changes our life. It allows us to recognize that we have value and dignity. It heals us, transforms us, and makes us grow. Under this loving gaze of God, the human person can discover their own identity and become more and more authentically \u201cthemselves.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Jesus Christ, we discover in your merciful eyes that we are very beloved sons and daughters and that you accept us just as we are. We ask you for the grace to learn how to look on others with your gaze of love as well.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Closing prayer<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

Jesus Christ, our Lord and King, we are happy because we are yours and because you have called us to share in the greatest and most beloved desires of your heart. In response to the love you have shown us, we come to pledge our friendship to you.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We are yours, Lord, and yours we want to be. We offer our lives so that all people might know and love you; because we want you to reign in their hearts.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

By ourselves, Lord, we can do nothing; but we know that you are always with us. \u00a0You also give us your Blessed Mother to be our mother too. In her presence and under her\u00a0protection;\u00a0we offer you, Lord, our youth and our fidelity.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Christ the King, our friend, come reign in our hearts and in the\u00a0whole world!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

DAY 3\u00a0 |\u00a0 <\/span><\/b>Sunday, November 14, 2021<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Christ the King, our friend,\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/b>calls us by\u00a0our\u00a0name<\/span><\/b>\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Opening prayer<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Jesus Christ, as we prepare to celebrate your feast as King of the universe, we want to accept your invitation to be your friends, so that you may reign in our hearts and in the whole world.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen he reached the place, Jesus looked up and said to him, \u201cZacchaeus, come down quickly, for today I must stay at your house.\u201d\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/b>(<\/span>Lk<\/span><\/i>\u00a019:\u00a05).<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEach one of us is God\u2019s love story. He calls each of us by our name: he knows us by name; he looks at us; he waits for us; he forgives us; he is patient with us.\u201d\u00a0Pope\u00a0Francis,\u00a0General Audience\u00a005\/17\/2017<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As with Zaccheus, Mary Magdalene, and the apostles, Jesus calls each of us by name to make a pledge of friendship and entrust us with a mission.\u00a0<\/span>The name is the icon of the person<\/span><\/i>. Calling someone by name indicates the deep and intimate knowledge that God has of each of us<\/span>1<\/span>.\u00a0\u00a0Friendship with Christ is always a personal relationship. In the midst of the\u00a0reality\u00a0we live in, Jesus says our name, calls us friends,\u00a0and invites us to know him and share his life.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Jesus Christ, when you call us by name you show us that we are not unimportant or unknown to you, and this closeness encourages us to go out of ourselves to follow you. Grant us the grace to know you better every day and say your name with our life, so that you will\u00a0be the one who works in us.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Closing prayer<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

Jesus Christ, our Lord and King, we are happy because we are yours and because you have called us to share in the greatest and most beloved desires of your heart. In response to the\u00a0love\u00a0you have shown us, we\u00a0come\u00a0to pledge our friendship to you.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We are yours, Lord, and yours we want to be. We offer our lives so that all people might know and love you; because we want you to reign in their hearts.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

By ourselves, Lord, we can do nothing; but we know that you are always with us. \u00a0You also give us your Blessed Mother to be our mother too. In her presence and under her\u00a0protection;\u00a0we offer you, Lord, our youth and our fidelity.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Christ the King, our friend, come reign in our hearts and in the\u00a0whole world!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

DAY 4\u00a0 |\u00a0 <\/strong>Monday, November 15, 2021<\/h3>\n

Christ the King, our friend,\u202finvites us to friendship with Him\u202f\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Opening prayer<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

Jesus Christ, as we prepare to celebrate your feast as King of the universe, we want to accept your invitation to be your friends, so that you may reign in our hearts and in the whole world.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI have called you friends\u201d<\/span><\/b>\u00a0(<\/span>Jn<\/span><\/i>\u202f15:15).<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>\u201cFriendship is so important that Jesus calls himself a friend: \u201c<\/span>I no longer call you slaves, because a slave does not know what his master is doing. I have called you friends<\/span>\u201d\u00a0<\/span>(<\/span>Jn\u202f<\/span><\/i>15:15). By the gift of his grace, we are elevated in such a way that we truly become his friends. With the same love that Christ pours out on us, we can love him in\u00a0return and share his love with others, in the hope that they too will take their place in the community of friendship he established.\u201d\u00a0Pope Francis.\u00a0<\/span>Christus Vivit<\/span><\/i>, 153.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>In this relationship of friendship, the human person realizes that they can love because they have been loved first\u00a0(cf.\u00a0<\/span>1\u00a0Jn<\/span><\/i>\u00a04:19)\u00a0and have\u00a0been called by God in the depths of their heart to correspond to that love.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Lord Jesus, you go out to meet\u00a0us because you want to be our friend. You call us, choose us, promise us your Kingdom, and invite us to follow you. Help us to say \u201cyes\u201d to this invitation always, and to allow you to enter our hearts so that by fostering this friendship every day you can pour out on us your very life.\u202f\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Closing prayer<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

Jesus Christ, our Lord and King, we are happy because we are yours and because you have called us to share in the greatest and most beloved desires of your heart. In response to the\u00a0love\u00a0you have shown us, we\u00a0come\u00a0to pledge our friendship to you.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We are yours, Lord, and yours we want to be. We offer our lives so that all people might know and love you; because we want you to reign in their hearts.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

By ourselves, Lord, we can do nothing; but we know that you are always with us. \u00a0You also give us your Blessed Mother to be our mother too. In her presence and under her\u00a0protection;\u00a0we offer you, Lord, our youth and our fidelity.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Christ the King, our friend, come reign in our hearts and in the\u00a0whole world!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

DAY 5\u00a0 |\u00a0 <\/span><\/b>Tuesday, November 16, 2021<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Christ the King, our friend,\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>reveals the treasures of his heart to us\u202f<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Opening prayer<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

Jesus Christ, as we prepare to celebrate your feast as King of the universe, we want to accept your invitation to be your friends, so that you may reign in our hearts and in the whole world.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI have called you friends,\u202fbecause I have told you everything I have heard from my\u00a0Father\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/b>(<\/span>Jn<\/span><\/i>\u00a015:\u00a015).<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Jesus Christ has called us friends and wants\u00a0<\/span>to share the greatest and most beloved ideals of His Heart with us<\/span><\/i>. In the Heart of Christ, that is what we are: his friends. That is what He wants to be for each one of us.\u00a0Through this human and divine\u00a0Heart\u00a0we can enter into the heart of God, who is meek, humble, and merciful, who is full of compassion for us and wants to establish his Kingdom of love in our hearts<\/span>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Lord Jesus, just as you remain in the Father, help us to remain always united to you, so that your law remains written on our\u00a0hearts\u00a0and we may be witnesses\u00a0of your love.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Closing prayer<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

Jesus Christ, our Lord and King, we are happy because we are yours and because you have called us to share in the greatest and most beloved desires of your heart. In response to the\u00a0love\u00a0you have shown us, we\u00a0come\u00a0to pledge our friendship to you.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We are yours, Lord, and yours we want to be. We offer our lives so that all people might know and love you; because we want you to reign in their hearts.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

By ourselves, Lord, we can do nothing; but we know that you are always with us. \u00a0You also give us your Blessed Mother to be our mother too. In her presence and under her\u00a0protection;\u00a0we offer you, Lord, our youth and our fidelity.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Christ the King, our friend, come reign in our hearts and in the\u00a0whole world!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

DAY 6\u00a0 |\u00a0 <\/span><\/b>Wednesday, November 17, 2021<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Christ the King, our friend,\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>invites us to be friends with each other<\/span><\/b>\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Opening prayer<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

Jesus Christ, as we prepare to celebrate your feast as King of the universe, we want to accept your invitation to be your friends, so that you may reign in our hearts and in the whole world.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI give you a new commandment:\u202flove one another. As I have loved you, so you also\u00a0should love one another\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/b>(<\/span>Jn<\/span><\/i>\u202f13:\u00a034).\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Friendship with Christ is contagious. To be friends\u00a0<\/span>of\u00a0<\/span><\/b>Christ leads us to be friends\u00a0<\/span>in<\/span><\/b>\u00a0Christ with one another.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cLove of God and love of neighbor are thus\u00a0inseparable,\u00a0they form a single commandment. But\u00a0both live\u00a0from the love of God who has loved us first. No longer is it a question, then, of a \u201ccommandment\u201d imposed from without and calling for the impossible, but rather of a\u00a0freely-bestowed\u00a0experience of love from within, a love which by its very nature must then be shared with others. Love grows through love. Love is \u201cdivine\u201d because it comes from God and unites us to God; through this unifying process it makes us a \u201cwe\u201d which transcends our divisions and makes us one, until in the end God is \u201call in all\u201d\u201d (<\/span>1 Cor\u202f<\/span><\/i>15:28).\u00a0Benedict\u00a0XVI,\u00a0<\/span>Deus caritas est<\/span><\/i>, 18.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Jesus Christ, help us to experience your love, so that by knowing that we are profoundly loved by you we may radiate this love to those around us and go out to meet our brothers and sisters like good Samaritans.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Closing prayer<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

Jesus Christ, our Lord and King, we are happy because we are yours and because you have called us to share in the greatest and most beloved desires of your heart. In response to the\u00a0love\u00a0you have shown us, we\u00a0come\u00a0to pledge our friendship to you.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We are yours, Lord, and yours we want to be. We offer our lives so that all people might know and love you; because we want you to reign in their hearts.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

By ourselves, Lord, we can do nothing; but we know that you are always with us. \u00a0You also give us your Blessed Mother to be our mother too. In her presence and under her\u00a0protection;\u00a0we offer you, Lord, our youth and our fidelity.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Christ the King, our friend, come reign in our hearts and in the\u00a0whole world!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

DAY 7\u00a0 |\u00a0 <\/span><\/b>Thursday, November 18, 2021<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Christ the King, our friend,\u00a0<\/span>transforms us<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Opening prayer<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

Jesus Christ, as we prepare to celebrate your feast as King of the universe, we want to accept your invitation to be your friends, so that you may reign in our hearts and in the whole world.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBehold, I make all things new\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/b>(<\/span>Rev<\/span><\/i>\u202f21:5).<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBy giving us this new commandment, he asks us to love one another, not only and not so much with\u202f<\/span>our<\/span><\/i>\u202flove, but with\u202f<\/span>his<\/span><\/i>, which the Holy Spirit instills in our hearts if we invoke him with faith.\u201d\u00a0Pope Francis,\u00a0Regina Coeli\u00a005\/19\/2019<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The love of Christ is what transforms us,\u00a0changes our\u00a0lives\u00a0and enables us to go out of ourselves to give ourselves to others like He did for us. Therefore, the transformation of the world begins with one\u2019s own heart. The one who has allowed Christ to reign in his heart is transformed and transforms the world around him.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Jesus, your friendship\u00a0makes\u00a0us\u00a0good, your love transforms us. We offer you our hearts\u00a0so that you may renew\u00a0them\u00a0and\u00a0so\u00a0that you may dwell in us.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Closing prayer<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

Jesus Christ, our Lord and King, we are happy because we are yours and because you have called us to share in the greatest and most beloved desires of your heart. In response to the\u00a0love\u00a0you have shown us, we\u00a0come\u00a0to pledge our friendship to you.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We are yours, Lord, and yours we want to be. We offer our lives so that all people might know and love you; because we want you to reign in their hearts.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

By ourselves, Lord, we can do nothing; but we know that you are always with us. \u00a0You also give us your Blessed Mother to be our mother too. In her presence and under her\u00a0protection;\u00a0we offer you, Lord, our youth and our fidelity.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Christ the King, our friend, come reign in our hearts and in the\u00a0whole world!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

DAY 8\u00a0 |\u00a0 <\/span><\/b>Friday, November 19, 2021<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Christ the King, our friend,\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>sends us out<\/span><\/b>\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Opening prayer<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

Jesus Christ, as we prepare to celebrate your feast as King of the universe, we want to accept your invitation to be your friends, so that you may reign in our hearts and in the whole world.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt was not you who chose me, but I who chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit that will remain\u201d<\/span><\/b>\u00a0(<\/span>Jn<\/span><\/i>\u00a015:\u00a016).<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cChrist invites all to \u201cgo out\u201d and encounter others, he sends us, he asks us to move\u00a0in order to\u00a0spread the joy of the Gospel!\u201d\u202fPope Francis,\u00a0General Audience\u00a010\/16\/2013<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To be\u00a0a friend of Christ is to be a disciple, to accept the invitation to follow him. Nevertheless, no one can say that they are a disciple if they are not also an apostle, that is, a witness. As with the first disciple and with all the saints, the adolescent\u00a0in\u00a0ECYD who has encountered Jesus Christ does not remain indifferent. The encounter with the Lord moves\u00a0them, transforms\u00a0them, and sets them in motion.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Jesus Christ, you call us, but you also send us. Help us to be faithful witnesses of your Word so that the joy of your Kingdom may reach all people.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Closing prayer<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

Jesus Christ, our Lord and King, we are happy because we are yours and because you have called us to share in the greatest and most beloved desires of your heart. In response to the\u00a0love\u00a0you have shown us, we\u00a0come\u00a0to pledge our friendship to you.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We are yours, Lord, and yours we want to be. We offer our lives so that all people might know and love you; because we want you to reign in their hearts.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

By ourselves, Lord, we can do nothing; but we know that you are always with us. \u00a0You also give us your Blessed Mother to be our mother too. In her presence and under her\u00a0protection;\u00a0we offer you, Lord, our youth and our fidelity.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Christ the King, our friend, come reign in our hearts and in the\u00a0whole world!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

DAY 9\u00a0 |\u00a0 <\/span><\/b>Saturday, November 20, 2021<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Christ the King, our friend,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>gives his life to save us<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Opening prayer<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

Jesus Christ, as we prepare to celebrate your feast as King of the universe, we want to accept your invitation to be your friends, so that you may reign in our hearts and in the whole world.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNo one has greater love than this,\u202fto lay down one\u2019s life for one\u2019s friends\u201d<\/span><\/b>\u202f(<\/span>Jn<\/span><\/i>\u202f15:\u00a013).\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When did Jesus reveal himself as king? In the event of the Cross! Those who look at the Cross cannot but see the astonishing gratuitousness of love.\u202fFor a Christian, speaking of power and strength means referring to the power of the Cross, and the strength of Jesus\u2019 love\u00a0(\u2026)\u00a0The strength of the Kingdom of Heaven is love, and therefore the kingship of Jesus doesn\u2019t oppress us, but rather frees us from our weaknesses and miseries, encouraging us to walk the path of the good, of reconciliation and of forgiveness.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/b>Christ is not a King who dominates us or treats us like subjects.\u00a0Rather,\u00a0he raises us to his very dignity.\u00a0He makes us reign with Him\u00a0(\u2026)\u00a0But reigning with Him means serving God and our brothers and sisters in service that flows from love. To serve in love is to reign \u2013 this is what Jesus teaches us.\u201d\u00a0Pope Francis, Angelus\u00a011\/22\/2015<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Jesus Christ, you are the new covenant by which God unites himself with humanity, makes us his family, embraces\u00a0us\u00a0and writes his law on our hearts. You are the\u00a0Lamb who gives himself for our sins, the Friend who gives his life for his friends to save us. We believe in you, Lord, and we want to remain in you. Give us the grace to be faithful witnesses,\u00a0make your Kingdom of love present in our hearts,\u00a0in those of all people,\u00a0and in society.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Closing prayer<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

Jesus Christ, our Lord and King, we are happy because we are yours and because you have called us to share in the greatest and most beloved desires of your heart. In response to the\u00a0love\u00a0you have shown us, we\u00a0come\u00a0to pledge our friendship to you.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We are yours, Lord, and yours we want to be. We offer our lives so that all people might know and love you; because we want you to reign in their hearts.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

By ourselves, Lord, we can do nothing; but we know that you are always with us. \u00a0You also give us your Blessed Mother to be our mother too. In her presence and under her\u00a0protection;\u00a0we offer you, Lord, our youth and our fidelity.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Christ the King, our friend, come reign in our hearts and in the\u00a0whole world!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
