Christ the King

Today the Church celebrates the solemnity of Christ the King and this day always reminds me of a deceased priest of the diocese of Sioux Falls. His name was Fr. Todd Reitmeyer, he was ordained in the spring of 2003 and I met him a few years later as a traveling catechist during the summers. In my time spent with Fr. Todd, I learned many things but the most important thing that I remember is a prayer he taught to the children. "Lord Jesus Christ, come into my heart, and be my king." This prayer has played a great part in my life because it reminds me that I am always in need of Jesus' presence in my life. With advent coming in less than a week, we prepare for our king to come and enter our heart.
