Come, King of All Nations

Alleluia, alleluia! 
Come, 
King of all nations, 
source of your Church’s unity and faith: 
save all people, 
your own creation! 
Alleluia!

With all four Advent candles blazing the Church raises its voice, crying in Christmas, the source of all unity and faith. 

As the world scrubs Christ out of Christmas, leaving a hollow, tinselled shell called the "holiday season", the Church heralds Jesus in, acknowledging him as the source and creator of everything. The world gorges on sensory opiates and is left feeling empty. So great is the Church's joy that we take eight days to celebrate Christmas.

I'm so grateful for my Christian faith. 

Come, King of all nations, source of your Church’s unity and faith: save all people, your own creation! 
Mary, mother of God, pray for us.
