Urbi et Orbi

There has been a push for synergy at the parish, selecting each Mass's music to complement the priest or deacon's homily, as well as developing & executing multi-week audiovisual themes. All of this is fine & good, though it does occasionally lead to humorous outcomes. Two Sundays ago, 22 November, was the Feast of Christ the King—formally, the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe. Christ the King is the last Sunday of the liturgical year. Below is the visually striking marquee graphic for that weekend's Masses:



The next Sunday, last Sunday, 29 November, was the First Sunday of Advent, which is also the first Sunday of the liturgical year. The lovely image for last weekend's Masses:



My first thought upon seeing the second graphic was, "Wow, in just one week He was demoted from 'King Jesus' to 'Lord Jesus'? Harsh!"

I'm all for Advent; I'm striving to prepare myself for the annual feast celebrating the Christ's coming into the world; & I don't mean to suggest, not even remotely, that there is anything in the least bit inappropriate in the focus on multimedia synchronization (St. Paul in 1 Corinthians, 9:22, "I have become all things to all, to save at least some."); I just thought this particular example was funny.
