Christ is the King of my life. I always remember on this wonderful feast day that miracle in 1974 on the Feast of Christ the King. We had sold everything we owned and resigned from our jobs waiting for the next orders from our King. Franks photo appeared in our local newspaper Sunday edition where the Obituarys would ordinarily have been. It announced his resignation from the DC.A.s office. We felt that was a sign that we had lost our life in order to find it. We were headed to an outdoor Christ the King procession in the Vermilion Catholic football field when we decided to go into the church instead of having to face our friends and acquaintances who had surely seen the article. Well as we knelt and prayed alone in the Church, I was literally crying tears of surrender to our King, Jesus. Suddenly the Church filled up. The outdoor procession had been moved to the church because of the rain. When it came time for the preaching by Father Larriviere, he began to talk about what it meant to have Jesus as your King. He applauded the act of selling all, resigning from the worldly jobs, to follow the Lord. Many people turned around as he spoke to sneak a look at us. God had moved an entire Christ the King procession and preaching to the Church to speak a word of encouragement and vindication for us. That was forty years ago. It hasnt always been easy, but Jesus has always been faithful to us. We have been faithful by His grace and not by our own power. Viva Christo Rey!
