My dear sisters and brothers,
 
Catholicism in the latter half of the 20TH century and the early years of the 21ST century has experienced profound changes. The result is that we are not all on the same page. Differences of opinion, various expressions of faith practices, and the infusion of social discord has impacted our dialogue. But there are three constants that unite us still—we are a people of faith . . . we are a people who live in hope . . . we are a people committed to love.
 
In addition, we have heard the words and live them: TRUST IN THE LORD, ALWAYS. My dear sisters and brothers, how else can we move forward unless we are willing to give our lives over to God in trust? Not unlike those called by the Lord as patriarchs and prophets, apostles and disciples, evangelists and missionaries, we, too, are called by Christ the King to be humble servants. Therefore, in service to the kingdom of God, who better to inspire us than those we honor as the patrons of our churches in Christ the King Parish: the Blessed Virgin Mary, Saint Joseph, Saint Edward, Saint Francis of Assisi and Saint Scholastica.
It will be for us to rediscover our relationship with Christ the King; to reconnect our faith journey with Christ the King; and to recommit our life of discipleship with Christ the King. In so doing we will find our way to the Kingdom of God.
