Do you let Him guide you to where He needs you?  We are asked to look into the face of others and see Him there.  But are we willing to extend our hands to help another?  On the Feast of Christ the King let us remember Christ is not king of an earthly world as the secular world would see.  He did not ask the governments to help another.  He asks us.  How can we help another today?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recognizing Christ in the faces of those around us calls for an open heart and a willingness to act with compassion. It&#8217;s easy to get caught up in our own lives and forget the simple acts of kindness that can make a significant difference. Whether it\u2019s lending a listening ear, offering a helping hand, or simply being present for someone in need, these small gestures reflect Christ\u2019s love and mercy in the world. By allowing Him to guide us, we become instruments of His grace, making His presence known through our actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moreover, trusting in the Blessed Trinity helps us grow spiritually and strengthens our relationship with God. It encourages us to seek His presence and rely on His grace in all aspects of our lives. As we deepen our trust in Him, we become more attuned to His will and more open to the transformative power of His love, creating a lasting foundation for our lives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Below is a homily from today&#8217;s mass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let&#8217;s joyfully celebrate the Feast of Christ the King, embracing the powerful truth that Our Lord is the Mighty God!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-the-victor-039-s-place wp-block-embed-the-victor-039-s-place\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"FAeNBXjmlO\"><a href=\"http:\/\/vhoagland.com\/2024\/11\/23\/feast-of-christ-the-king-3\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Feast of Christ the King<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"\u00abFeast of Christ the King\u00bb \u2014 The Victor&#039;s Place\" src=\"http:\/\/vhoagland.com\/2024\/11\/23\/feast-of-christ-the-king-3\/embed\/#?secret=GD5xXMHolu#?secret=FAeNBXjmlO\" data-secret=\"FAeNBXjmlO\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sI6ZkTbUgW4?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The message emphasizes recognizing Christ in others and extending compassion through our actions, particularly on the Feast of Christ the King.
