You suggest: Help restore the Shrine of Christ the King Novena starting December 17

From our friends at the Institute of Christ the King:

Emmanuel :  God is with us.

As we approach the great feast of Christmas, join the Institute of Christ the King in the Infant King Novena to prepare for the birthday of our God, the Eternal Word made flesh.  Venite adoremus!

Join us during these final days of Advent in the Infant King Novena as we prepare to celebrate the mystery of our redemption, the Mystery of the Incarnation.  From December 17 through Christmas Day, let us meditate and reflect on the greatest gift the world has ever received and our appreciation of this Eternal Gift in our daily lives.


“And entering into the house, they found the child with Mary his mother, and falling down they adored him; and opening their treasures, they offered him gifts; gold, frankincense, and myrrh.” - Matthew 2:11

The three magi and the shepherds adored the Holy Infant King and brought Him gifts to celebrate His virgin birth.  The Infant Jesus says to us, “The more you honor Me, the more I will bless you”.  What gift will you bring Him?

This Christmas season, offer the Holy Infant King your prayers and present Him with a candle or a flower as a visible symbol of your love, devotion and gratitude for the blessings you’ve received from Him this past year of grace. 

Submit your prayer offerings online before December 17 and have your intentions prayed for with others from around the world during the Infant King Novena.
Give thanks for blessings received by presenting an ExVoto message to the Infant King.  Read stories from people who have received God’s graces through the Infant King Novena.
Read our monthly meditation which will provide you with spiritual insight to grow step by step in the virtues of the Holy Infant King. December’s meditation is “Imitation of Christ in the Hidden Life”.


In recognition of what our Lord Jesus Christ has done for us by His Incarnation and wishing to honor Him as King, the Institute wishes to build Him our National Shrine of Christ the King on the property of our US Headquarters.  Will you help us spread His reign of grace and peace to our nation?  Will you help us build our Infant King a National Shrine? 

May the Holy Infant King bless you abundantly this Christmas and always for everything you do for His greater glory as King of heaven and of earth!
