Prayer to Christ, King of the Universe

A stone baptismal font stands near an open church doorway overlooking a town street.
Our daily actions can become an offering of Christ’s peace.

O Christ Jesus, I acknowledge You King of the Universe. All that has been created has been made for You. Exercise upon me all Your rights. I renew my baptismal promises renouncing Satan and all his works and pomps. I promise to lead a good Christian life and to do all in my power to procure the triumph of the rights of God and Your Church. Divine Heart of Jesus, I offer You my poor actions in order to obtain that all hearts may acknowledge Your sacred royalty and that thus the reign of Your peace may be established throughout the universe. Amen.

Renewing baptismal promises, this prayer places daily actions under Christ’s care and asks for his peace. Frank Sheed’s To Know Christ Jesus offers a fuller encounter with the person at the center of that commitment through a sustained reading of his life in the Gospels.
