Pause and Pray
Christ the Universal King
“I will give You glory, O God, my King; I will bless Your name for ever” – Psalm 144
Merciful Lord, You are the Sovereign over all creation, the King of the Universe, the One before whom all things bow and find their meaning.
Reign within us, O Lord. Establish the life of grace within our hearts and our souls, and so make Your Kingdom come, that we might adore You as our sole Sovereign.
Your Kingdom come, O Lord.
Each time we join our hands and open our hearts to God,
we find ourselves in the company of anonymous saints and recognized saints
who pray with us and who intercede for us as older brothers and sisters
who have preceded us on this same human adventure.
Pope Francis
