Bill > HR0222

This resolution officially declares November 23, 2025, as Christ the King Sunday in Michigan, a day recognized by many Christian communities to honor Jesus Christ's spiritual leadership. The resolution provides historical and theological context, noting that the feast day originated in 1925 during a period of global secularism and religious persecution, when Pope Pius XI established the observance to affirm Christ's eternal kingship. Drawing from biblical references in Daniel and other scriptures that describe Christ as the "King of kings," the resolution emphasizes Christ's universal dominion and spiritual significance. The document also connects the observance to Michigan's constitutional preamble, which acknowledges divine guidance, and calls on Michigan residents to participate by engaging in reflection, service, and acts of kindness that embody the moral and spiritual values associated with Christ the King. While primarily symbolic, the resolution seeks to recognize and celebrate the religious and moral principles represented by this Christian observance.
