Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe – Year B (2021)

Filed Under: Feasts Holy Days and Seasons

Sunday, November 21, 2021

The readings for the Feast of Christ the King for Year B speak of heavenly battles and being prepared. In the first reading (Daniel 7:13-14) Daniel foretells the Son of Man coming to rule the world with an unending kingship. The psalm (Psalm 93:1, 1-2, 5) sings “The Lord is king; he is robed in majesty.” In the second reading (Revelation 1:5-8) describes our king coming in glory. And in the gospel (John 18:33B-37), Pilate questions Jesus about his kingdom and Jesus reveals that it is not like a worldly kingdom.

So this weekend we could speak of the kingship of Christ or the book of Revelation. Here are some ideas:

Crown the King (VBS Game or Youth Ministry Game)
Or maybe it should be called "Uncrown the King" because the goal is to knock off other player's crowns and keep your own. This is an active game, so it is best played outdoors, in a gym, or in a meeting room with some open space.
Kingdoms (Youth Ministry Game)
The purpose of this game is to form kingdoms. The largest kingdom wins! All you need are materials to make a list so it is super easy. This could be used as a youth group game or even a middle school VBS game.
The Lamb’s Supper: The Mass As Heaven on Earth (The Book of Revelation)
The Book of Revelation can be one of the most difficult books of the bible to understand. In his book The Lamb's Supper: The Mass As Heaven on Earth, Scott Hahn makes the case that the Book of Revelation is actually a description of the Mass. And every time we participate in the Eucharistic celebration we are actually taking part in a liturgy where heaven intersects with earth.
I Am the Alpha and the Omega
"I am the Alpha and the Omega, " says the Lord God, "the one who is and who was and who is to come, the almighty."
