Christ the King Sunday is Nov. 20

From Hymn 477, verse 4: Wherefore, by God's eternal purpose, thou art high exalted o'er all creatures now, and given the Name to which all knees shall bow. Alleluia!

The last Sunday of the church year, before starting again with Advent, is Christ the King Sunday. The church year is an outline of the life of Jesus; the last Sunday of the year proclaims Jesus as King, reigning over all who acknowledge him as the highest authority in their lives.

When the processional cross goes by on Sunday morning, lots of people bow their head to reverence the symbol of Jesus' boundless sacrificial love. In a self-obsessed culture, I find that simple act to be filled with power and deep meaning.
