King Jesus, to whom we so rightfully belong, you have redeemed us at the cost of infinite love and charity. I acknowledge you as my sovereign.
My Prince, who would not praise you? Who would not wonder at your goodness? What empire was ever more justly won than ours, since your only subjects are the captives you delivered, the poor you have enriched, the sorrowful you make happy, and the slaves your mercy makes kings.
Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet, 1627-1704, French bishop, theologian, and court preacherBlessed be Jesus Christ, the King of love and mercy!
