Jesus, King of flesh and blood, teach us what it means to be human, to find divine life in our own lives of flesh and blood. Help us to see you, to be moved by you, to give our lives to the only King worthy of them, for you are Lord. Amen.
(Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe – November 26)
