Join Fr. Aaron & Marissa Burt for this week's episode, in which they consider the readings for Christ the King Sunday 11/20-11/26: Jeremiah 23:16; Psalm 46; Colossians 1:11-20; Luke 23:35-43.

You are not here to verify,/ Instruct yourself, or inform curiosity/ Or carry report. You are here to kneel/ Where prayer has been valid. And prayer is more/ Than an order of words, the conscious occupation/ Of the praying mind, or the sound of the voice praying. From TS Eliot's "Little Gidding"
