Do come and join us. PALLOTTINE PRAYER Lord Jesus Christ, you are priest and king of all creation. Through your death on the cross and your glorious resurrection you completed the work of redemption. When one day the whole of creation has been submitted to your dominion, then you will deliver to your heavenly Father the eternal, all-embracing kingdom, the kingdom of truth and life, of holiness and grace, the kingdom of justice, love and peace. Lord Jesus Christ, King of all ages, You are King of all time. Eternal God, you gave your Son all power in heaven and on earth. You made him head of the new creation. Free your creatures from the power of the enemy, that we will serve you alone and will praise you for all eternity. St Vincent Pallotti, pray for us.
