Prayer for the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ the King

O Christ, Jesus, I acknowledge Thee as Universal King.
All that has been made, was created for Thee.
Exercise over me all the rights that Thou hast.
I renew my Baptismal Promises, renouncing Satan,
his pomps and his works, and I promise to live as a good Christian.
Especially, do I pledge myself, by all the means in my power,
to bring about the triumph of the rights of God and of Thy Church.
Divine Heart of Jesus, I consecrate all my poor actions to the
cause of Thy Kingship, that all hearts may recognize Thee their Ruler
and thus establish the Kingdom of Thy Peace in all the world. Amen.
