Feast of Christ the King

The 34th (last) Sunday of Ordinary Time is celebrated as the Feast of Christ the King. Here is a display of autumn flowers taken in Lichfield Cathedral - it forms a fitting image for the feast.



Crown him the Lord of peace,
Whose power a sceptre sways
From pole to pole, that wars may cease,
Absorbed in prayer and praise:
His reign shall know no end,
And round his pierced feet
Fair flowers of Paradise extend
Their fragrance ever sweet.


Have a Happy Feast!

Yes - better than the flower displays I sometimes do in the Chapel of the Resurrection!
