More importantly, what does it mean for the human soul?  When we celebrate Christ the King, we're not simply adding another title to Jesus. We're recognizing a profound theological truth: Christ desires to reign not over territories marked on maps, but over the infinite landscape of the human soul.

They remind us that even in humanity's darkest moments—from the Fall to the Flood, from slavery in Egypt to exile—God never abandoned His people. Instead, He was always preparing the way for redemption.

We Catholics have this beautiful tradition of making reparation for sins. It might sound old-fashioned, but it's actually pretty profound when you think about it. It's like saying, "Hey, we know people mess up – we do too – and we want to help make things right." When we make reparation, we're acknowledging that our actions affect others, and we're offering comfort to the Heart of Jesus that's been hurt by all the indifference out ...

    Ruthie's Table 4

    For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
