Mass Readings – The Solemnity of Christ the King of the Universe
He is the King of Kings, and Lord of Lords…and yet he came into our world to teach us about his heavenly Father with compassion and tenderness. May we draw near to his Divine Mercy, and say the words of the Good Thief, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom!”
***************
Note: this image (above and below) is the great icon of Christ the King located in the main apse of the Cathedral in Superior. The pictures don’t do it justice, so if you are ever near the shores of Lake Superior, come and pray with us and see it for yourself.

If schedules and flights go as planned, my group of pilgrims should make it safely back home today. The beauty of Italy and the opportunity of the Extraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy have touched our hearts and helped us draw close to the Lord and one another.

Mass Readings – Tuesday of the 33rd Week of the Year
“I stand at the door and knock.” As Christ comes to our hearts, he gently invites us to respond. May we open our hearts and allow his grace to touch and bless our lives.

Mass Readings – 33rd Sunday of the Year
The Gospel today reminds us that when tough times happen in our lives we:
- Do not fear
- Trust in God’s wisdom
- Persevere
While it is not always easy to do, we know that the Lord will help us face our difficult moments with a power that is greater than our own.
