A Collect for Christ the King SundayKing of Kings, Prince of Peace,
The edicts and decrees of the world’s would-be rulers surround us,
From the tops of towers,
The halls of power,
The broadcasts of satellites,
The reality of violence,
The starvation of children,
The whispers of the human heart;
Grant us the wisdom to discern usurpers to your throne
And give us the courage to take up our crosses,
Follow your ways of peace, mercy, justice and love,
And to give allegiance to you, and you alone.
In the name of the one who rules by sharing glory,
Who shows authority by suffering,
And whose kingdom is love,
Jesus Christ, Our Savior and Lord,
Amen.
