From Our Parochial Administrator...
Love One Another.
Jesus says "I give you a new commandment: love one another. As I have
loved you, so you should love one another. This is how all will know that
you are my disciples, if you have love for one another" (John 13:34-35).
Our culture has created much confusion with respect to what it means to truly love. Jesus
shows us what love is. It is making a conscious choice to sacrifice for the good of another,
even if it is at the expense of our own needs and desires.
Parents naturally understand this authentic definition of love when it comes to their
children. Parents will put their own needs and desires behind those of their children. Most
parents would even give their life for their child.
Many marriages suffer from the lack of authentic love. Feelings and circumstances change.
Trials and tribulations abound. Yet each couple is expected to remain faithful to their vows
and to make a choice to love one another each and every day.
Jesus passes on His mandate to love one another to us. Let’s take it, parishioners of Christ
the King. He pours out as he did on his disciples the Holy Spirit promised by the Father. In
effect, we make him known and loved through the good news we bring to the people, the
“Gospel of Joy,” Pope Francis says. Jesus is present to the world through us. St. Teresa
of Avila (1515-1582) wrote: “Christ has no body now but yours. No hands, no feet on earth
but yours. Yours are the eyes through which He looks with compassion on this world.
Yours are the feet with which He walks to do good. Yours are the hands through which He
blesses all the world. Yours are the hands, yours are the feet, yours are the eyes, you are
His body. Christ has no body now on earth but yours.”
God bless.

families to pray and promote vocations to the
Priesthood and Religious Life. The consecrated
Chalice is a tangible reminder of this special intention for the Church. A vocation is a call from the
Holy Spirit, a gift from God that is nurtured in
prayer. We hope that those who bring the cup
home will continue to pray daily for vocations. The
Vocation Chalice is available to be checked out for
up to two weeks. Sign up forms for the Vocation
Chalice can be filled out in the Parish Office or in
the Welcome Center.

Prayer of Mercy
Lord Jesus Christ,
You have taught us to be Merciful like the Heavenly Father.
Open my eyes to see your loving face,
and my ears to hear your words that I will be saved.
You are the visible face of the merciful and forgiving Father.
Let everyone who comes to the Church and the ministers
feel sought after, loved and forgiven by God.
Grant that by the power of the Spirit
I may become an apostle of mercy and forgiveness
to the weak and sinners through the intercession of Mary,
Mother of Mercy.
Amen. (Adapted from Pope Francis’ Prayer for the Extraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy)

Song # 5242683
Let no one caught in sin remain inside the lie of inward shame.
We fix our eyes upon the cross and run to Him,
Who showed great love, and bled for us.
Freely You’ve bled for us.
Christ is risen from the dead, trampling over death by death,
Come awake, come awake, come and rise up from the grave.
Christ is risen from the dead, we are one with Him again,
Come awake, come awake, come and rise up from the grave.
Beneath the weight of all our sin, You bowed to none but heaven’s will.
No scheme of hell, no scoffer’s crown, no burden great can hold You down.
In strength You reign. Forever let Your Church proclaim.
Oh death, where is your sting? Oh hell, where is your victory?
Oh Church, come stand in the light. The glory of God has defeated the night!
Sing it! Oh death, where is your sting? Oh hell, where is your victory?
Oh Church, come stand in the light. Our God is not dead. He’s alive! He’s alive!

GOSPEL READING—John 13:31-33A, 34-35
Christians let us love one another as we share the true living bread
Jesus is our God and our brother; with his flesh and blood we are fed.
Everyone who loves is born of God
Jesus is our life, God is love.
We who break this bread are one body, we who share this cup are all one
Children of our Father in heaven, we are heirs of God’s only Son.
We who eat and drink at this table die and rise again with our Lord.
Drawing from our rock living water giv’n to all who thirst for accord.
On the path of life we may falter earthly food alone leaves us weak.
Always you invite from the altar, “Hungry souls their food here must seek.”
Wheat and grape incarnate a mystery; Jesus is the true living bread
Let us eat with joy and thanksgiving, trusting in the word he has said.

LOVE IS HERE

Come to the waters, you who thirst
and you'll thirst no more
Come to the Father you who work
and you'll work no more
And all you who labor in vain,
and to the broken and shamed
Love is here, love is now,
Love is pouring from His hands, from His brow
Love is near it satisfies,
Streams of mercy flowing from His side
Love is here
I am the vine, you are the branches.
Remain in Me, you shall be fruitful.
Love for the world, hope for the hopeless.
If you love, then you must root yourself in Me;
For the branch will fail and die without the tree.
Come to the treasure you who search
and you'll search no more
Come to the lover you who want
and you'll want no more
And all you who labor in vain,
and to the broken and shamed
If you give, then you must give yourself to Me;
For the well will soon run dry without the sea.
THERE IS A HIGHER THRONE
Keith Getty/Kristyn Lennox, © 2002 Thankyou Music/PRS admin by worshiptogether.com Songs
There is a higher throne
than all this world has known,
Where faithful ones from every tongue
will one day come.
Before the Son we’ll stand,
made faultless through the Lamb;
Believing hearts find promised grace; Salvation comes.
And to the bruised and fallen,
Captives bound and brokenhearted
He is the Lord, He is the Lord,
By His stripes He's paid our ransom
From His wounds we drink salvation
He is the Lord, He is the Lord
Hear heaven’s voices sing; Their thunderous anthem rings
Through emerald courts and sapphire skies, their praises rise.
“All glory, wisdom, power, strength, thanks and honor are
To God, our King Who reigns on high, forevermore!”
And there we’ll find our home;
our life before the throne.
We’ll honor Him in perfect song
where we belong.
He’ll wipe each tear-stained eye
as thirst and hunger die.
The Lamb becomes our Shepherd King;
We’ll reign with Him.
TESTIFY TO LOVE
Field, Pool, Van Manen, Riekerk ©1996 Windswept Music
All the colors of the rainbow,
all the voices of the wind.
Ev’ry dream that reaches out,
reaches out to find where love begins.
Ev’ry word of ev’ry story,
ev’ry star in ev’ry sky.
Ev’ry corner of creation lives to testify.
For as long as I shall live I will testify to love.
I’ll be a witness in the silences when words are not enough.
With every breath I take, I will give thanks to God above,
For as long as I shall live, I will testify to love.
From the mountains to the valleys,
from the rivers to the sea.
Ev’ry hand that reaches out,
ev’ry hand that reaches out to offer peace.
Ev’ry single act of mercy, ev’ry step to Kingdom come.
All the hope in ev’ry heart speaks what love has done.

De nuestro administrador parroquial...
Ámense los unos a los otros
Jesús dice, “Les doy un mandamiento nuevo: ámense los unos a los otros, así como yo
los he amado, ámense también ustedes los unos a los otros. En esto todos
reconocerán que ustedes son mis discípulos: en el amor que se tengan los unos a los
otros” (Juan 13:34-35).
Nuestra cultura ha creado tanta confusión con respecto a que significa amar
verdaderamente. Jesús nos enseña que es el amor. Es el hacer una decisión consciente
de sacrificarse por el bien de nuestro prójimo, aunque sea a costa de nuestros propios
deseos y necesidades.
Padres y madres normalmente entienden esta definición autentica de amor cuando se
trata sobre sus hijos. Padres ponen sus necesidades y deseos después de los de sus
hijos. Muchos aún darían su propia vida por sus hijos.
Muchos matrimonios sufren por falta de amor autentico. Sentimientos y circunstancias
cambian. Problemas y tribulaciones son abundantes. Aun así, las parejas tienen la
expectación de ser fieles a sus promesas y escoger amarse el uno al otro todos los días.
Jesús nos pasa este mandato, a amarnos los unos a los otros. Hay que aceptarlo,
parroquianos de Cristo Rey. Derrama, como lo hizo con sus discípulos, el Espíritu Santo
prometido por el Padre. En turno lo hacemos conocido y amado a la gente que le
traemos la buena noticia, el “evangelio de alegría”, dice el Papa Francisco. Jesús está
presente en el mundo por nosotros. Santa Teresa de Ávila escribió: “Cristo no tiene
otro cuerpo que el tuyo; No tiene manos ni pies en la tierra, excepto los tuyos. Tuyos
son los ojos a través de los cuales el mira a este mundo con compasión. Tuyas son las
manos con las que Él bendice a todo el mundo.”
Que Dios los bendiga.
Padre Rolyn Francisco

Oración de
Öisericordia
(Adaptada de la Oración del Papa
Francisco para el Jubileo de la
Misericordia)
Señor Jesucristo,
Tú nos has enseñado a ser misericordiosos
como el Padre del cielo. Abre mis ojos a tu
rostro amoroso, y mis oídos para oír tus
palabras que me salvarán. Tú eres el rostro
visible del Padre misericordioso que
manifiesta su omnipotencia con el perdón.
Haz que quien se acerque a la Iglesia o a tus
ministros se sienta deseado, amado y
perdonado por Dios. Concede que por el
poder del Espíritu me convierta en un
apóstol de misericordia y perdón para los
débiles y pecadores por la intercesión de
María, Madre de la Misericordia. Amen.
Adoración Perpetua
Todos estamos tan ocupados que
se nos olvida encontrar tiempo
para estar con Jesús. Una hora a
la semana, por lo menos, con Él en
el santuario del Santo Peregrino
es una bella oportunidad para
orar, hallar descanso y paz en la
presencia de Dios. Necesitamos
adoradores dedicados para mantener la Santísima Eucaristía expuesta 24 horas al día, siete días a
la semana.
