A Prayer for Others

May we who are merely inconvenienced remember those whose lives are at stake.
May we who have no risk factors remember those who are most vulnerable.
May we who have the luxury of working from home remember those who must choose between preserving their health or making their rent.
May we who have the flexibility to care for our children when their schools close remember those who have no options.
May we who have to cancel our trips remember those who have no safe place to go.
May we who are losing our margin money in the tumult of the economic market remember those who have no margin at all.
May we who settle in for a quarantine at home remember those who have no home.
As fear grips our country, let us choose love.
During this time when we cannot physically wrap our arms around each other, let us find ways to be loving embrace of God to our neighbors.
Amen

Act of Spiritual Communion

My Jesus, 
I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. 
I love You above all things, 
and I desire to receive You into my soul. 
Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, 
come at least spiritually into my heart. 
I embrace You as if You were already there 
and unite myself wholly to You. 
Never permit me to be separated from You.
Amen.

In compliance with Governor Stitt's coronavirus directive, Christ the King parish offices are closed. The staff are all healthy, but we are located in a county with a high number of active coronavirus infections and thus fall under the directive.

Confession will be available on Saturdays from 3:30-4:15pm as usual. We also will have confessions on Tuesday and Thursday evening from 5:30-6:30pm. Penitents are asked to go to confession behind the screen.

The Blessed Sacrament will be exposed during confession times. (See above.)

Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, our community is in a state of emergency. For our health and safety, Archbishop Coakley has directed that there be no public Masses until after Easter. I know he made this decision after deep prayer and with a heavy heart. I am still trying to wrap my head around all of the temporary restrictions. During times like these the first and most important thing we can do is to unify ourselves in prayer.

To help our community to stay close to one another in prayer, Mass will be live streamed Monday through Saturday at noon, beginning this Saturday, March 21^st. The private 10:00 a.m. Mass on Sundays will be live streamed, as usual. Additionally, we will stream the vigil Mass on Saturday evenings at 5:00 p.m. in an effort to spread out our viewership and mitigate some of the issues we run into with heavy internet traffic. The Masses are also streamed to Facebook Live and YouTube. You may view previously streamed liturgies on our website by clicking the “Archive” tab on the live streaming webpage HERE and on Facebook and YouTube. Since distribution of the Eucharist is not permitted, you are encouraged to make a "spiritual communion" while watching the Mass by inviting Jesus into your heart and soul.

Although the parish offices are closed, the church will remain open for prayer Monday-Friday from 9:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. and 12:30-5:00 p.m. Please observe social distancing and maintain 6 feet between yourself and others. The church will be closed each day from 12:00-12:30pm while I celebrate Mass.

In addition to our regular Saturday confessions, I will offer confession on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 5:30-6:30 p.m. While waiting for confession, please stand or sit at least 6 feet apart. Confession will  be only behind the screen.

While Adoration on Mondays and Fridays has been suspended, the Blessed Sacrament will be exposed while confessions are taking place.

The Easter Triduum will be live streamed. Those who were to be baptized and confirmed at the Easter Vigil will be confirmed at a Mass to be scheduled after Easter. Baptisms will continue as scheduled but with no more than 10 people present. Weddings may continue with only 10 people in attendance. Funerals will continue, but are likewise limited to 10 people in the church. Larger funerals may be celebrated outdoors at the grave site. Anointing of the sick will continue as usual.

As efforts to protect our community from the spread of the Coronavirus are continually changing, this information may change, too. Please check our website, ckokc.org, for the most up-to-date information. I also encourage you to download our myParish app by texting APP to 88202, as updates and our parish bulletin will be posted there.

You are all in my daily prayers, especially those who are sick or who have lost jobs during this crisis. I ask that we all pray for the sick and for an end to this pandemic. This is a time for unity; we cannot let the devil divide us. God bless you all.
