Happy Christ the King!

Happy Christ the King, my favorite Feast Day--also, the Catholic New Year! :- )
Here is a prayer for today:
Prayer of Consecration to the Sacred Heart
Lord Jesus Christ, Redeemer of the human race,
look down upon us as we kneel before your altar.
We are yours and desire always to belong to you;
but to be more surely united with you,
we freely consecrate ourselves today to your most Sacred Heart.
Many indeed have never known you;
many too, have despised your teaching and rejected you.
Have mercy on them all, most merciful Jesus, and draw them to your Sacred Heart.
Be King, O Lord, not only of the faithful who have never forsaken you,
but also of the prodigal sons and daughters who have abandoned you;
grant that they may quickly return to their Father's house
lest they suffer the eternal sorrow of being separated from you.
Be King, O Lord, of those who are deceived by false teachings,
or separated by discord,
and call them back to the community of truth and unity of faith,
so that soon there may be but one flock and one Shepherd.
Grant to your Church, O Lord, assurance of freedom and immunity from harm;
give peace and order to all nations, and make the earth resound with one acclamation:
Praise to the divine Heart that won our salvation;
to It be glory and honour for ever and ever. Amen.

All went well last night. I got E Smile and A Ghost is Born and we stayed up late listening to them over and over again. Both are excellent, especilly Smile--the 40 year wait for such a record was worth it!!! E said it was a great b-day so that made me happy. We even baked a nice chocolate cake and we got to see a Star Wars trailer he wanted to see.
Thanksgiving is on its way. It looks like I'll be going to an early celebration at a friend's house (get together type thing) and then in the evening over to another friend's house because his parents are visiting. Home cooked meals, yay!
My Brit boy is standing in line waiting for the U2 record to be relased in England and he keeps texting me to update me on what's up. There's a rumor floating about that U2 will show up, but it's probably bogus. In any case, it's cute he's texting me because about 2 years ago he and I MET in a line waiting for a U2 product to come out. So he's wishing I was there to keep him company this time and I wish I were there too. It looks like snow in the UK. :- )
Soon he'll be in the States anyway and *gasp* here to see me. I can hardly wait.
Thank God I was never interested in Sebby. :- )
Out to Mass, hurrah!
