An Edge Night on the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe

About this Edge Night

The Edge Night begins with a Gather that is a spin on a Hispanic New Year’s Eve tradition. The youth hunt for plastic or chocolate coins hidden around the meeting space and the youth who finds the special coin is king or queen for the Edge Night. The Proclaim discusses Christ’s kingship and our participation in His kingship. In the Break, the youth reflect on the upcoming new liturgical year and create spiritual New Year’s resolutions to honor our king. The Send will lead the youth through the Act of Dedication to Christ the King prayer and help them meet the other conditions for the indulgence.

Goal of This Night

The goal of this Edge Night is to prepare the youth for and explain the Church’s celebration of the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe. This Edge Night will provide the youth with an understanding of the feast and personal applications to their faith.

Key Concepts

  • The Church uses a liturgical calendar that sets aside specific days and seasons to celebrate different parts of our faith.
  • This week the Church celebrates the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe, a day that reminds us to honor Christ as king and to live as sons and daughters of the king.
  • Christ the King is the last Sunday of the liturgical calendar — a sort of Catholic New Year’s Eve —and invites us to honor Christ as king throughout the next liturgical year.
