If you know of someone who has not received First Communion or Confirmation, or maybe even some neighbors who talk
about our parish and have never been baptized, why don’t you come to the rectory office during office hours and fill out the
information for us this week. We will contact them in September or October to see if they are interested in coming closer to
Christ in the sacraments of the church.
Quizás tú conoces a alguien que necesita recibir sus sacramentos. Quizás tienes un vecino que habla de la iglesia y quisiera bautizarse. Quizás tú serás el misionero de Cristo. De la información en horas de oficina en la rectoría y cuando empezamos las clases durante Septiembre y Octubre, les mandaremos un recuerdo para que conozcan también Cristo en los
sacramentos!
Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe
Americans celebrate Thanksgiving Day this Thursday. This week will be one of the busiest for travel. Local news channels will broadcast stories about Thanksgiving meals and also about the poor who will be
served by others. The president will pardon a turkey. Stores will gear up for Black Friday sales and a big
shopping weekend. Financial markets in the United States will be closed down Thursday and have shortened hours on Friday. The collision of sentiments of gratitude and crass commercialism on a single weekend can make for a certain incongruence in one's experience of these few days. As we
celebrate the feast of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe, we are presented with a
seemingly huge incongruity in the Gospel that is proclaimed this year. We celebrate a great
King, and in our human experience when we hear of a king we think of fine robes, sumptuous feasts, grand castles, and scores of courtiers and servants. The Gospel today gives us a
broken man, abandoned by his friends, condemned, reviled by a criminal, and hanging on a
cross. This is the King we honor today. Thank God that we can live with a certain amount
of dissonance in our lives. It is what allows us to hold in balance seemingly contradictory notions, like
the fact that a crucified man is our Lord and King. One of the criminals crucified with Jesus asks that he
be remembered when Jesus comes into his kingdom. That plea, uttered near the moment of his death, has
become a prayer for Christians through the centuries, because we believe that the death of Jesus was not
the end. We believe that his death was just the beginning, ushering in a new kingdom, and promising a
new life that can be ours if we submit ourselves to the rule of this universal King. The promise Christ
makes to the repentant thief is the promise he makes to us: we will be with him in paradise.
Nuestro Señor Jesucristo, Rey del Universo
Con la solemnidad de Nuestro Señor Jesucristo, Rey del Universo, terminamos el año litúrgico. El próximo domingo iniciaremos el primer domingo de Adviento. La vida pasa de prisa. Ojalá que en medio de la rapidez recordemos siempre las palabras del ladrón arrepentido crucificado junto a Jesús: "Señor, cuando
llegues a tu Reino, acuérdate de mí". Este ladrón fue el primero en reconocer y confiar en el Reino de Jesús y su paraíso a pesar de las burlas de sus verdugos y opositores. Jesús es rey de todos
y de todo el universo. Dios envió a Jesús para salvar al mundo entero. Éste es el Rey que hoy
celebramos. Un Rey clavado en la cruz y que nos mira desde ahí con todo su amor. Nuestras
bases cristianas están enraizadas en el misterio de la cruz de Cristo. Cristo Rey nos invita a compartir su Reino y lo escuchamos cada domingo en su Evangelio, sabiendo que su Reino no ignora el sufrimiento de
los pobres. La cruz es amiga de la pobreza, pues al ser bien llevada levanta y dignifica. La cruz es la sabiduría de
Cristo que nos introduce al misterio pascual. Por lo tanto, miremos a Cristo en la cruz y pidamos por sabiduría y
fuerza para atender el llamado a la paz y a la reconciliación. El Salmo 72 alaba al Rey de la paz y los humildes:
"Comunica, Señor, al rey tu juicio y tu justicia, al que es hijo de reyes; así tu siervo saldrá en defensa de tus pobres
y regirá a tu pueblo justamente". ¡Viva Cristo Rey! Gracias, Padre bueno, por habernos dado a tu Hijo único.
Sharing the Gospel
When someone hurts you, you might get very angry. You might want to say or do mean things to
get even. Before you do anything, pray first. Ask God to help you say and do the right things.
When Jesus hung on the cross, he said, "Father, forgive them." When you love God and forgive
yourself and others, God will say,"I promise that when you die, you will be with me in paradise."
When the soldiers hurt Jesus, they were only doing their job. They did not understand that they
were killing God's Son. Jesus saw into the hearts of those soldiers, and he forgave them. A man
next to Jesus on the cross had done terrible things. He knew he deserved to die on a cross, and
he was truly sorry. This criminal believed that Jesus was God's Son. Jesus saw into that criminal's
heart, and Jesus forgave him, too.
Prayer
Dear God, thank you for sending Jesus to forgive my sins.
Something to Draw
Draw a picture of Jesus on the cross.
Mission for the Week
Ask Jesus to help you forgive.
Damos gracias por todo lo que hemos recibido, permitámonos a pensar en compartir
con las personas y las familias menos afortunadas y verdaderamente necesitadas.
