May the whole world cry out to God and ask him to reign over us.

The feast of Christ the King is a celebration where we recognize that Jesus is the true king over us all.

Yet, we remain far from the goal of everyone in the world calling Jesus Christ their king.

St. John Paul II quoted an ancient hymn at the end of his homily in 1998 for the feast of Christ the King, making it into a prayer that Jesus would reign over all humanity.
