The creator is King: What it means to understand the depth of Christ's love and kingship
By Melissa Enaje
There are countless amount of times where the words "Christ the King" appears, whether in school or church names, to the November feast day, "Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe."

All Saints day is about the call to eternity at whose center stands a Lamb that appears to be slain.
