Eternal Father,
whose Son Jesus Christ ascended to the throne of heaven
that he might rule over all things as Lord and King:
keep the Church in the unity of the Spirit
and in the bond of peace,
and bring the whole created order to worship at his feet;
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9<\/sup> As I watched, John 18.33\u201337<\/p>\n\n\n\n 33<\/sup> Then Pilate entered the headquarters again, summoned Jesus, and asked him, \u2018Are you the King of the Jews?\u2019 34<\/sup>Jesus answered, \u2018Do you ask this on your own, or did others tell you about me?\u2019 35<\/sup>Pilate replied, \u2018I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests have handed you over to me. What have you done?\u2019 36<\/sup>Jesus answered, \u2018My kingdom is not from this world. If my kingdom were from this world, my followers would be fighting to keep me from being handed over to the Jews. But as it is, my kingdom is not from here.\u2019 37<\/sup>Pilate asked him, \u2018So you are a king?\u2019 Jesus answered, \u2018You say that I am a king. For this I was born, and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n All collects and readings appointed for this day as well as the orders of Morning Prayer, Evening Prayer and Night Prayer can be found at almanac.oremus.org\/2021-11-21<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sunday 21st November – Christ the King – Sunday next before Advent Collect Eternal Father,whose Son Jesus Christ ascended to the throne of heaventhat he might rule over all things as Lord and King:keep the Church in the unity of the Spiritand in the bond of peace,and bring the whole created order to worship at … <\/p>\n
thrones were set in place,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0and an Ancient One took his\u00a0throne;
his clothing was white as snow,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0and the hair of his head like pure\u00a0wool;
his throne was fiery flames,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0and its wheels were burning fire.
10<\/sup> A stream of fire issued
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0and flowed out from his presence.
A thousand thousand served him,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0and ten thousand times ten thousand stood attending\u00a0him.
The court sat in judgement,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0and the books were opened. 13<\/sup>As I watched in the night visions,
I saw one like a human being
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0coming with the clouds of\u00a0heaven.
And he came to the Ancient One
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0and was presented before him.
14<\/sup> To him was given dominion
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0and glory and kingship,
that all peoples, nations, and languages
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0should serve him.
His dominion is an everlasting dominion
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0that shall not pass away,
and his kingship is one
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0that shall never be destroyed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gospel <\/h4>\n\n\n\n
