Little Office of Christ the King

This is a one time blog to contain the Little Office of Christ the King, on the pattern of the pre-Vatican II "Little Offices" of devotion. They existed for the Immaculate Conception, St Joseph and the Holy Angels, that I'm aware of.

Hail Christ Our King!


From the J+M+J Novena Manual by Fr Stedman:

Most Sweet Jesus! Come near to us, Thy children. Receive from our hands that Crown which those who are but dust of earth, try to seize from Thee. Enter now in triumph among us, Thy fervent followers! HAIL CHRIST OUR KING!

Lawmakers may break the tables of Thy Law, but whilst they lose their thrones and are forgotten, we, Thy subjects, will continue to salute Thee, HAIL CHRIST OUR KING!

They have said that Thy Gospel is out of date, that it hinders progress and must no longer be considered. They who say this soon disappear into obscurity and are forgotten; whilst we, who adore Thee, continue to salute Thee, HAIL CHRIST OUR KING!

The proud, the worldly, those who possess unlawful riches, those who thirst for riches, honours and pleasures alone, declaring Thy moral law to be for past ages, will be hurled against the Rock of Calvary and Thy Church, and falling, will be reduced to dust, and sink into oblivion, whilst we, Thy followers, continue to salute Thee, HAIL CHRIST OUR KING!

Those who seek the dawn of a material civilisation, divorced from God, will surely die, poisoned by their own false doctrine, deserted and cursed by their own children, whilst we, who would console Thee, will continue to salute Thee, HAIL CHRIST OUR KING!

Yes, hail to Thee, O Christ our King! Put to flight Lucifer, the fallen angel of darkness, from our homes, schools and society, force him and his agents into Hell, chain him there everlastingly, whilst we, Thy friends, continue to salute Thee, HAIL CHRIST OUR KING!
