On November 21st 2021 we celebrate the solemnity of Christ the King and this date marks the end of the liturgical year too. It is the feast of Jesus Merciful Love, the Holder of the two Congregations founded by Mother Esperanza, and it marks the beginning of the Advent’s season.

Christ’s royalty should be a reason for reflection, deepening and imitation because His royalty is service royalty, love royalty, not power, richness, arrogance royalty, but love.

In the Sanctuary of Merciful Love of Collevalenza, the Crucifix dominates over the Altar, as Consecrated Esperanza of Jesus wanted, a Christ nailed to the Cross, that is wearing a crown of thorns: the throne of the Cross and the crown of thorns, here Jesus’ royalty.

During this solemnity all the Sons of Merciful Love renew in the same day their religious profession; this acknowledges their adherence to the Charism, on the steps of Jesus Merciful Love, King of the Universe.
