Novena to Christ the King
to be said the nine days prior to the Feast of Christ the King
Oh JESUS, Thou didst declare that Thy Kingdom is upon the earth,
but not of the earth; it is a spiritual, supernatural Kingdom, the Kingdom of truth.
It fights with the power of conviction, and conquers by this means the hearts that by right belong to it. Thou Thyself art witness to this truth, and Thou Thyself art the Truth.
Oh Jesus, I believe that Thou art truly a King because Thou hast come into the world to institute among people the rule of God; every person who is of the truth, who believes in God and recognizes His authority in human affairs, owes Thee a loyal and undivided allegiance and “hears Thy voice.”
As a Catholic I am a member of Thy Kingdom, and Thou art my King. To Thee I owe loyalty, obedience, and love. Help me to carry out these most sacred duties toward Thee. I wish to be “of the truth” that is “a child of God” and gladly to hear Thy voice and follow Thee in all things. I accept Thee as my King and submit to Thy authority. Reign supremely in my heart and in my life. Thy reign is heavenly peace; Thy law is love.
Help me to pray and work that Thy Kingdom may come into every soul, every family, every nation. Oh Jesus, since I honor Thee as my King, I come to Thee with great confidence,
asking Thee to grant this special favor, if it be Thy holy Will:
(Mention your request).
Lord Jesus Christ, my King, I adore Thee as the Son of God, and through the prayers of Thy most loving Mother I beg of Thee: send me from out of the abundance of Thy loving Heart the grace of the Holy Ghost in order that He may enlighten my ignorance, purify and sanctify my sinful heart, and confirm me in Thy holy love. This I request through the love of the Father and the Holy Ghost, through Thine infinite mercy, and through the merits of all Thy Saints. Amen.
Consecration
CHRIST, Jesus, I acknowledge Thee as King of the universe.
All that has been made has been created for Thee. Make full use of Thy rights over me.
I renew the promises I made in Baptism when I renounced Satan and all his pomps and works.
I promise to live a good Christian life.
Especially, I undertake to help, to the extent of my means,
to secure the triumph of the rights of God and of Thy Church.
Divine Heart of Jesus, I offer Thee my poor efforts so that all hearts may acknowledge
Thy sacred Royalty and the Kingdom of Thy peace may be established throughout the entire universe. Amen.
