Reflection from the Pastor:
In 1925, Pope Pius XI established the Solemnity of Christ the King. He did this
because he thought that the most effective weapon against the destructive forces of
the age is the acknowledgment of the Kingship of Christ. At that time, there were
many political persecutions against the Church, especially in Mexico and Latin
America, but also the general discrimination against the Church in English-speaking
countries and the rise of Communism in Russia. Each of these movements, in their
own way, sought to obliterate the memory of God from public consciousness and to
replace God with man, most especially man as obedient to the State. These trends
still continue, and are even stronger and bolder than before. God is relegated to the
private sphere, but amorality is exalted as “personal choice and freedom”. Jesus
Christ is King of the Universe, but He asks you to love and serve Him, not as a slave,
but as His friend. Remember that to reject Jesus, even passively, is to embrace the
devil. The devil is not your friend; he has no love for you. All of his promises are
empty. May Jesus Christ the King reign in our hearts now and forever!

Bulletin Bits from the Diocesan Stewardship Office
"Once One Chooses to be a Disciple of Christ, Stewardship is not an
Option”
I am the Alpha and the Omega! As the Church year ends we bring into focus the eternal
kingship of Christ our Savior. As Christian disciples, we recognize that baptism is our entry
into the family of God and makes us subjects in Christ's eternal kingdom. To remain loyal to
Jesus is to be loyal to the truth and requires an effort to recognize the lies of Satan. The devil
encourages us to think only of ourselves, while Jesus shows us how to live in the love of the
Father. May we follow our King to the end of the earth.

Meditación del Párroco:
En 1925, el Papa Pío XI estableció la Solemnidad de Cristo Rey. Lo hizo porque pensó que el arma más eficaz
contra las fuerzas destructivas de la edad es el reconocimiento del Reinado de Cristo. En aquel tiempo, habían
muchas persecuciones políticas en contra de la Iglesia, sobre todo en México y América Latina, sino también la
discriminación general contra la Iglesia en países de habla inglés y el surgimiento del comunismo en Rusia.
Cada uno de estos movimientos, a su manera, trató de borrar la memoria de Dios de la conciencia pública para
sustituir a Dios con el hombre. Estas tendencias continúan, y son aún más fuertes y más audaces que nunca. Dios
es relegado a la esfera privada, sino la amoralidad se exalta como "elección personal y la libertad". Jesucristo es
Rey del universo, pero Él te pide que le ama y sirve, no como esclavo, sino como su amigo. Recuerda que para
rechazar a Jesús, incluso pasivamente, es abrazar al diablo. El diablo no es tu amigo, él no tiene ningún amor por
ti. Todas sus promesas son vacías. ¡Que viva Cristo Rey en nuestros corazones ahora y siempre!
Noticias de la Parroquia
Clases del Bautismo en español: Las clases prebautismales son obligatorios para todos los padres y
padrinos. La clase dura una hora y está en la oficina de la
parroquia (302 S B Street). Se celebra los bautismos en
español el último domingo del mes después de la misa en
español.
La próxima clase será el 28 de noviembre a las 7 pm
“Tan pronto uno escoge ser discípulo de Cristo,
El Compartir ya no es una Opción”
¡Yo soy el Alfa y el Omega! Así como el Año
Litúrgico termina, nos enfocamos en el reinado eterno de
Cristo nuestro Salvador. Como discípulos Cristianos,
reconocemos que el Bautismo es nuestra entrada a la
familia de Dios y que nos hace parte del reino eterno de
Cristo. Para permanecer leales a Jesús, necesitamos ser
leales a la verdad que requiere un esfuerzo para
reconocer los engaños de Satanás. El enemigo nos incita
a solo pensar en nosotros mismos, mientras que Jesús
nos enseña cómo vivir en el amor del Padre. Que
sigamos a nuestro Rey hasta el fin de la tierra.
Nos gustaría iniciar un fondo para las
flores del Altar. Con un donativo de
$30.00, las flores serán compradas y
colocadas en el Altar durante todo el
año. Los nombres serán publicados en el boletín
semanariamente. Para preguntas o para hacer la
donación por favor contacten la oficina de la parroquia al
