We come to the last Sunday of the Church’s liturgical calendar. The most appropriate celebration the faithful must observe to end the liturgical year is the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe. This celebration is appropriate to cap all our celebrations of the Sundays of the year, when we remember the resurrection of Christ. Every Sunday celebration reminds us that the resurrection of Christ gave us eternal life. The fulfilment of that covenantal gift is the ripening of God’s time, the Second Coming of Christ. The Second Coming of Christ is also the reign of Jesus Christ as King of the Universe. As we wait for that beautiful coming of age, we look forward to the things that God has promised to all of us. This celebration invites us to be steadfast in faith, hopeful in the love and grace of God and joyful in the blessings that God gives us at all times. o0o Thanksgiving Day. This week is Thanksgiving Day. We celebrate the love of family and friends, the abundance of food and blessings, and the peace of being one and strong nation. Thanksgiving day is giving and receiving. We remember that in our need, in our emptiness, we open our hands to receive gifts that are freely provided by generous hearts and hands. We also open our hands in our abundance to share what we have to those who are in need. Happy Thanksgiving Day to all! o0o In this issue, I would like to continue discussing points about the sanctuary area citing paragraphs 61 and 62 of the document Built of Living Stones. This part talks about the ambo and the proclamation of the Word. “ Par. 61. The central focus of the area in which the word of God is proclaimed during the liturgy is the ambo. The design of the ambo and its prominent placement reflects the dignity and nobility of that saving word and draws the attention of those present to the proclamation of the word. Here the Christian community encounters the living Lord in the word of God and prepares itself for the ‘breaking of the bread’ and the mission to live the word that will be proclaimed. An ample area around the ambo is needed to allow a gospel procession with a full complement of ministers bearing candles and incense. The General Introduction to the Lectionary recommends that the design of altar and ambo bear a ‘harmonious and close relationship’ to one another in order to emphasize the close relationship between word and Eucharist. Since many share in the ministry of the word, the ambo should be accessible to everyone, including those with physical disabilities. Par. 62. The ambo can be designed not only for reading and preaching, but also for displaying the open book of the Gospels or a copy of the Scriptures before and after the liturgical celebration.” Solemnidad de Nuestro Señor Jesucristo, Rey del Universo. Llegamos al último domingo del calendario litúrgico de la Iglesia. La celebración del año litúrgico más adecuada que los fieles deben ver terminar es la Solemnidad de Nuestro Señor Jesucristo, Rey del Universo. Esta celebración es apropiado para coronar todas nuestras celebraciones de los domingos del año, cuando recordamos la resurrección de Cristo. La celebración que nos recuerda todos los domingos la resurrección de Cristo El nos dio la vida eterna. El cumplimiento de ese regalo de pacto es la madurez del tiempo de Dios, la segunda venida de Cristo. La Segunda Venida de Cristo es también el reinado de Jesucristo como Rey del Universo. Mientras esperamos esa hermosa edad, esperamos las cosas que Dios nos ha prometido a todos nosotros. Esta celebración nos invita a ser firmes en la fe, la esperanza en el amor y la gracia de Dios y alegres en las bendiciones que Dios nos da en todo momento. o0o Día de Acción de Gracias. Esta semana es el Día de Acción de Gracias. Celebramos el amor de la familia y amigos, la abundancia de alimentos y las bendiciones y la paz de ser uno y una nación fuerte. Día de acción de gracias es dar y recibir. Recordemos que en nuestra necesidad, en nuestro vacío, abrimos nuestras manos para recibir los regalos que son proporcionados gratuitamente por los corazones y las manos generosas. También abrimos nuestras manos en nuestra abundancia para compartir lo que tenemos con aquellos que están en necesidad. (continua en la pagina proxima) Feliz Día de Acción de Gracias a todos! o0o En este tema, me gustaría seguir discutiendo los puntos sobre la zona del santuario citando en los párrafos 61 y 62 del documento de construida de Piedras Vivas. Esta parte habla sobre el ambón y la proclamación de la Palabra. " Parafo. 61. El Ambon es el enfoque central de la zona en que se proclama la palabra de Dios en la liturgia. El diseño del ambón y su colocación prominente refleja la dignidad y la nobleza de esa palabra guardada y llama la atención de los presentes a la proclamación de la palabra. Aquí la comunidad cristiana se encuentra con el Señor vivo en la palabra de Dios y se prepara para la "fracción del pan" y la misión de vivir la palabra que se proclamó. Se necesita una amplia zona alrededor del ambón para permitir una procesión evangélico con una dotación completa de ministros que llevan las velas e incienso. En la Introducción General al Leccionario recomienda que el diseño del altar y el ambón llevan una "relación armoniosa y estrecha" entre sí, con el fin de hacer hincapié en la estrecha relación entre la palabra y de la Eucaristía. Desde allí muchos comparten el ministerio de la palabra, el ambón debe ser accesible a todos, incluyendo a las personas con discapacidades físicas. Parafo. 62. El ambón puede ser diseñado no sólo para la lectura y la predicación, sino también para mostrar el libro abierto de los Evangelios o una copia de las Escrituras antes y después de la celebración de la Liturgia.

Where All Are Welcomed and Loved With Mercy Day 252 Hunger and poverty also mean poor access to prenatal care, leading to high maternal mortality. Maternal mortality has a precise definition: the death of a woman while pregnant or within six weeks of the end of the pregnancy, from any cause related to or aggravated by the pregnancy. Most maternal deaths can be prevented when births are attended by skilled health personnel who are regularly supervised and have the proper equipment and supplies. First 1000 Days: A Catholic Culture of Life Initiative Donde todos son acogidos y amados por la misericordia - día 252 El hambre y la pobreza también significa la falta de acceso a la atención prenatal, lo que lleva a la alta mortalidad materna. La mortalidad materna tiene una definición precisa: la muerte de una mujer mientras está embarazada o dentro de seis semanas siguientes al final del embarazo, por cualquier causa relacionada o agravada por el embarazo. La mayoría de las muertes maternas se pueden evitar cuando los nacimientos son atendidos por personal de salud calificado cuales supervisan regularmente y tienen el equipo y los suministros adecuados. Los primeros 1000 días: una cultura católica de la iniciativa de vida Adult Confirmation If you are 18 or older and have not been confirmed, we invite you to join in the adult confirmation classes. Confirmation will happen in the spring. The classes will be the 1st and 3rd Tuesday's of each month from December through April at 6:30 PM in the St. Maximillian Kolbe room. Adults should already be baptized Catholics and have received the sacrament of Eucharist. Please bring a copy of your baptismal certificate to the first session. SACRISTAN NEEDED We are in need of a sacristan for 5:30pm Wednesday evening services and for fill-ins when other sacristans are sick or out-of-town.

Eucharistic Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament Saint Catherine Laboure, Religious Mystic and Visionary, France (1806-1876) - Nov 28 In Saint Catherine Laboure's time those who wore the Miraculous Medal were saved from the cholera plaque and many other miracles occurred. In 1842 Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal appeared to Alphonse Risbonne, a young Jewish man, who at 24years old had spent most of his life mocking the Church. He was converted instantly and later became a priest. Yearly countless miracles are reported, miracles of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. These resplendent graces are given, Our Mother said, to all who ask for them. In the words of Our Lady to Saint Catherine Laboure, "child you, too, will know sadness. But in time of trial come here before the alter and pour out all your troubles. There you will receive every consolation." (Copyright, Missionaries of the Blessed Sacrament. All rights reserved.) Please join us for Eucharistic Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. Adoration is available in the chapel 24 hours every day. For adoration outside of the 24-hour regular Thursday schedule, call the office for instructions and to enlist. Everyone is welcome. Spend as much or as little time as you can. Thank you for offering our Lord this special hour. Expect God's blessing, and give Him thanks. Pray One! Knit One!

To say Christ is our King is to make a statement not about our politics, but about the dignity of our own identity. At our baptism, the crown of our head was once slathered (or at last dabbed) with oil while the Church prayed “as Christ was anointed priest, prophet and king, so may you live always as his body.” To celebrate Christ’s kingship, then, is to claim our own identity. Your head was anointed just as Samuel poured oil over David’s head. David had his gifts, but he was no prize, and perhaps that might comfort you as you think about your call, out of the messiness of your own life, to stretch into a lifestyle that is marked by worship, by prophetic speech and deeds, and the kingly ability to fashion a world (or at least a patch of it) where relationships are marked by justice, mercy, and cultivation of the good. It is precisely because of this kingly role that our faith community has something to say about the environment, about the dignity of human life, just wages, access to health care and education, the building of peace, and avoidance of war. In a few weeks’ time we will hymn the coming of the “newborn king,” but today we sketch out the meaning of his reign, and our own incorporation into his work for the life of the world. TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE A lo largo de los años, latinoamérica ha producido bellísimas imágenes de Cristo crucificado, una de ellas es el Señor de los Milagros (Perú). Normalmente estas imágenes llevan en la parte superior el acrónimo INRI. Estas iniciales son una abreviación de las palabras en latín: Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum que en español significan Jesús de Nazaret, rey de los judíos (Mateo 27:37; Marcos 15:26; Lucas 23:38 y Juan 19:19). Con estas palabras, y sin quererlo, Pilato da a conocer al mundo la identidad de Jesús, mientras que él piensa que sólo está haciendo referencia a la causa de su muerte. El delito político de Jesús fue hacerse pasar por un rey y ésto, al Imperio Romano no le convenía. En realidad, el hecho de que Jesús es rey, no le conviene a ningún gobierno humano. El rey es el líder absoluto, al cual se le debe entrega incondicional. Para los cristianos que habitamos en todas las naciones de la tierra, el hecho de que proclamemos que Jesús es nuestro rey, puede traernos serias dificultades. Los gobiernos humanos no siempre actúan conforme al Evangelio y por tal motivo, al cristiano que reconoce a Jesús como rey, le corresponde desafiar tales gobiernos. El reinado de Cristo no es de este mundo, pero juzga y cuestiona este mundo. Al cristiano le toca gritar, con su vida y con su palabra: ¡Viva Cristo Rey! —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — One like a Son of man received dominion, glory, and kingship (Daniel 7:13-14). Psalm — The Lord is king; he is robed in majesty (Psalm 93). Second Reading — Jesus Christ is the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead (Revelation 1:5-8). Gospel — For this I came into the world, to testify to the truth (John 18:33b-37). —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura – Cuando uno, como el Hijo del Hombre se dirigió hacia el anciano y fue llevado a su presencia, recibió el dominio eterno, un reinado indestructible (Daniel 7:13-14).

Segunda lectura – Que la gloria y el poder sean dados a Jesucristo, el primogénito de entre los muertos y Señor de toda la tierra (Apocalipsis 1:5-8).

The Home for the Holiday’s Radiothon will emphasize the critical need for low income housing and services for the needy” noted Donovan who further stated “We have been close to shelter capacity since spring and are currently sheltering 102 from the harsh environment. Background: Albany Helping Hands is a faith-based 501(c) 3 non-profit corporation and an equal opportunity employer and provider. The proceeds from this fundraiser provide training and employment for shelter guests and help fund critical community missions that include but are not limited to providing emergency housing and food. We provide to the community hot meals three times a day, serving 7,243 meals in October where everyone is welcome, even those not registered with the shelter. Albany Helping Hands also provides training and employment for shelter guests operating a Thrift Store, the Garden Farm & Market, Keep Warm Wood Lot, and Vehicle Resale and Estate Cleanup units and also offers GED Training Classroom, housing searches, transitional jobs programs, mental health referrals, counseling, clothing, household needs, and furniture. Donations are greatly appreciated and can be made anytime at the shelter at 619 SE Ninth Avenue, Albany or mail your contributions to PO Box 2252, Albany, OR 97321. The on air fundraising talk will be mixed with the regular on air content for KGAL AM 1580 and KSHO AM 920 . The programming won’t be stopped for long periods of fund raising chatter.
