FAITH AND THE JUBILEE YEAR
 A MESSAGE FROM THE PASTOR 
Pope Francis, the Pastor of the Universal Church, has asked that the upcoming Extraordinary Jubilee of
Mercy (8 December 2015 – 20 November 2016) “be linked, first and foremost, to the Sacrament of
Reconciliation and to the celebration of the Holy Eucharist with a reflection on mercy.” With those
intentions in mind, I am happy to announce that during the Jubilee, in addition to our regular Massschedule, the Holy Eucharist will be celebrated on the First Sunday of the Month (First Sunday Works of
Mercy) at 5:00 P.M. Furthermore, the opportunity to confess sins with a contrite heart and a firm purpose
of amendment will not only be available every Saturday from 1:30 P.M. – 2:30 P.M. and by appointment as
it currently is, but an additional hour of mercy will be offered for Confession every Friday from 4:00 P.M.
– 5:00 P.M. It is my hope that many will come home for these Sacraments and in the words of Pope
Francis: “obtain the true and generous forgiveness of the Father Who renews all with His Presence.”
The Real Presence of God we know as Catholics, remains with us always, even until the
end of the age (cf. Saint Matthew XXVIII:20). That is why during the Holy Season of Lent,
on Holy Thursday, members of various groups associated with Our Holy Redeemer, after
celebrating the Mass of the Lord’s Supper, spend one hour with Him in the Most Blessed
Sacrament until He is “taken away” from us at Midnight. That hour is what He looked for
from Saints Peter, John, and James when after the Last Supper, He took them into the
Garden of Gethsemane. It is an hour that invites us to watch and pray (cf. Saint Luke
XXII).
As the Pastor of this local church in Freeport, I am asking you to please make a
commitment to “spend one hour with Him” outside of Mass every week by
coming to our Perpetual Adoration Chapel.
“Your commitment to your
Perpetual Adoration Chapel” (wrote Bishop Murphy on 6 January 2003 in
commemoration of our Parish’s one hundredth anniversary) “is a testimony to
the belief that all your activities as a parish flow from your life of prayer.” So it
was in 2003; so it is now in 2015; and so it will be during the upcoming Jubilee
Year (8 December 2015 – 20 November 2016) and beyond!
Please use today’s bulletin to select “a day of the week” and “a time of the day” when
you can come home to “watch and pray” with Our Holy Redeemer in our Perpetual
Adoration Chapel. It is my hope to have at least three people watching and praying
every hour of the day; every day of the week, throughout the Holy Year (8 December
2015 – 20 November 2016). With your one hour in the Perpetual Adoration Chapel, and
our additional hours of Confessional Mercy and Holy Mass, together we will help – in the
words of Pope Francis – “enable the celebration of the Holy Year to be for all believers a
true moment of encounter with the mercy of God … a living experience of the closeness
of the Father … a genuine experience of God’s mercy.”
In Union with Mary, Our Mother of Mercy,
Father Arcoleo
MY TIME WITH HIM IN
THE PERPETUAL ADORATION CHAPEL
Yes, I will “spend one hour with Him” in our Perpetual Adoration Chapel. I have indicated below
when I commit myself to “watch and pray”.

NOW A WORD FROM OUR POPE
(ABOUT THE FAMILY)
POPE FRANCIS
GENERAL AUDIENCE
Paul IV Audience Hall
Wednesday, 19 August 2015
The Family - 23. Work
Dear Brothers and Sisters, Good Morning!
After having reflected on celebration in the life of the family, today we will ponder a complimentary element,
that of work. Both are part of God’s creative design, celebration and work.
Work, as it is commonly said, is necessary for maintaining the family, for raising children, for ensuring a
dignified life for our loved ones. In speaking about a serious, honest person, the most beautiful thing that
can be said is: “he or she is a worker”, one who works, one who in a community doesn’t just live off of
others. There are many Argentinians today, I see, and I will say what we say: “No vive de arriba” [Don’t just
live it up].
And indeed work, in its many forms, beginning with that in the home, is also concerned with the common
good. Where does one learn this hard-working lifestyle? First of all, one learns it in the family. The family
teaches work through the example of the parents: the father and the mother who work for the good of the
family and of society.
In the Gospel, the Holy Family of Nazareth appears as a family of workers, and Jesus Himself is called “Son of
a carpenter” (Mt 13:55) and even “the carpenter” (Mk 6:3). And Saint Paul would not fail to warn Christians:
“If anyone will not work, let him not eat” (2 Thess 3:10) — that’s a good recipe for losing weight, you don’t
work, you don’t eat! The Apostle explicitly refers to the false spiritualism of some who indeed live off their
brothers and sisters “not doing any work” (2 Thess 3:11). Commitment to work and the spiritual life, in the
Christian conception, are not at all at odds with one another. It is important to understand this properly!
Prayer and work can and must be in harmony, as Saint Benedict teaches. The absence of work damages the
spirit, just as the absence of prayer damages practical activity.
Work — I repeat, in its many forms — is proper to the human person. It expresses the dignity of being
created in the image of God. Thus, it is said that work is sacred. And thus, managing one’s occupation is a
great human and social responsibility, which cannot be left in
the hands of the few or unladen onto some divinized
“market”. Causing the loss of jobs means causing serious
harm to society. It makes me sad to see people without
work, who don’t find work and don’t have the dignity of
bringing bread home. And I rejoice greatly when I see
governments go to great lengths to find jobs and try to see to
it that everyone has work. Work is sacred, work gives dignity
to a family. We have to pray that no family is left without
work.
Therefore, work too, like celebration, is part of God’s creative plan. In the Book of Genesis, the theme of the
earth like a back yard, entrusted to the care and cultivation of man (2, 8:15), is anticipated by a very moving
passage: “In the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens, when no plant of the field was yet in
the earth and no herb of the field had yet sprung up — for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the
earth, and there was no man to till the ground; but a mist went up from the earth and watered the whole
face of the ground” (2:4-6). It’s not romanticism, it is God’s revelation; and we are responsible for
understanding and implementing it. The Encyclical Laudato Si’, which proposes an integral ecology, also
contains this message: the beauty of the earth and the dignity of work were made to be united. The two go
together: the earth becomes beautiful when it is worked by man. When work is detached from God’s
covenant with man and woman, and it is separated from its spiritual qualities, when work is held hostage by
the logic of profit alone and human life is disregarded, the degradation of the soul contaminates everything:
even the air, water, grass, food ... the life of society is corrupted and the habitat breaks down. And the
consequences fall most of all on the poor and on poor families. The modern organization of work sometimes
shows a dangerous tendency to consider the family a burden, a weight, a liability for the productivity of
labour. But let us ask ourselves: what productivity? And for whom? The so-called “smart city” is
undoubtedly rich in services and organization; but, for example, it is often hostile to children and the elderly.
At times those in charge are interested in managing individuals as a workforce, assembling and utilizing them
or throwing them away on the basis of economic benefit. The family is a great workbench. When the
organization of work holds it hostage, or even blocks its path, then we can be certain that human society has
begun to work against itself!
In this circumstance, Christian families are posed a great challenge and a great mission. They bring to the
field the foundations of God’s Creation: the identity is the bond between man and woman, the procreation
of children, the work which harnesses the earth and renders the world habitable. The loss of these
foundations is a very serious matter and there are already too many cracks in the common home! It is not
an easy task. Sometimes it may seem to family associations as though they are like David facing Goliath ...
but we know how that challenge turned out! It takes faith and shrewdness. In this difficult moment of our
history, may God grant us the ability to accept with joy and hope His call, the call to work to give dignity to
ourselves and to our families.

Now a Word from Our Saints
(Pope Saint John Paul II, Familiaris Consortio, #86)
And now, at the end of my pastoral message, which is intended to
draw everyone's attention to the demanding yet fascinating roles
of the Christian family, I wish to invoke the protection of the Holy
Family of Nazareth.
Through God's mysterious design, it was in that family that the
Son of God spent long years of a hidden life. It is therefore the
prototype and example for all Christian families. It was unique in
the world. Its life was passed in anonymity and silence in a little
town in Palestine. It underwent trials of poverty, persecution and
exile. It glorified God in an incomparably exalted and pure way.
And it will not fail to help Christian families-indeed, all the families in the world-to be faithful
to their day-to-day duties, to bear the cares and tribulations of life, to be open and generous
to the needs of others, and to fulfill with joy the plan of God in their regard.
Saint Joseph was "a just man," a tireless worker, the upright guardian of those entrusted to
his care. May he always guard, protect, and enlighten families.
May the Virgin Mary, who is the Mother of the Church, also be the Mother of "the Church of
the home." Thanks to her motherly aid, may each Christian family really become a "little
Church" in which the mystery of the Church of Christ is mirrored and given new life. May
she, the Handmaid of the Lord, be an example of humble and generous acceptance of the
will of God. May she, the Sorrowful Mother at the foot of the Cross, comfort the sufferings
and dry the tears of those in distress because of the difficulties of their families.
May Christ the Lord, the Universal King, the King of Families, be present in every Christian
home as He was at Cana, bestowing light, joy, serenity and strength. On the solemn day
dedicated to His Kingship I beg of Him that every family may
generously make its own contribution to the coming of His Kingdom
in the world-"a kingdom of truth and life, a kingdom of holiness and
grace, a kingdom of justice, love, a nd peace," towards which
history is journeying.
I entrust each family to Him, to Mary, and to Joseph. To their hands
and their hearts I offer this Exhortation: may it be they who present
it to you, venerable Brothers and beloved sons and daughters, and
may it be they who open your hearts to the light that the Gospel
sheds on every family.
THANKSGIVING 1789
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
A PROCLAMATION
“Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of
almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and
humbly to implore His protection and favor - and Whereas both Houses
of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me "to
recommend to the People of the United States a day of public
thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful
hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording
them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for
their safety and happiness."
Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of
November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the
service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author
of all the good that was, that is, or that will be – That we may then all
unite in rendering unto Him our sincere and humble thanks – for His kind care and protection of the People
of this country previous to their becoming a Nation – for the signal and manifold mercies, and the favorable
interpositions of His providence, which we experienced in the course and conclusion of the late war –for the
great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty, which we have since enjoyed – for the peaceable and rational
manner in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and
happiness, and particularly the national One now lately instituted, for the civil and religious liberty with
which we are blessed, and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and in general for
all the great and various favors which He hath been pleased to confer upon us.
And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and
Ruler of Nations and beseech Him to pardon our national and other transgressions – to enable us all,
whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually – to
render our national government a blessing to all the People, by constantly being a government of wise, just,
and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed – to protect and guide all Sovereigns
and Nations (especially such as have shown kindness unto us) and to bless them with good government,
peace, and concord – To promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the increase of
science among them and Us – and generally to grant unto all mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity
as He alone knows to be best.”
Given under my hand at the City of New York
the third day of October in the year of our Lord 1789.
GEORGE WASHINGTON
THANKSGIVING 1863
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
A PROCLAMATION
The year that is drawing towards its close, has been filled with the
blessings of fruitful fields and healthful skies. To these bounties,
which are so constantly enjoyed that we are prone to forget the
source from which they come, others have been added, which are
of so extraordinary a nature that they cannot fail to penetrate and
soften even the heart which is habitually insensible to the ever
watchful providence of Almighty God. In the midst of a civil war of
unequaled magnitude and severity, which has sometimes seemed
to foreign States to invite and to provoke their aggression, peace
has been preserved with all nations, order has been maintained,
the laws have been respected and obeyed, and harmony has
prevailed everywhere except in the theatre of military conflict;
while that theatre has been greatly contracted by the advancing
armies and navies of the Union. Needful diversions of wealth and
of strength from the fields of peaceful industry to the national
defense have not arrested the plough, the shuttle or the ship; the
axe has enlarged the borders of our settlements, and the mines, as
well of iron and coal as of the precious metals, have yielded even more abundantly than heretofore.
Population has steadily increased, notwithstanding the waste that has been made in the camp, the siege and
the battle-field; and the country, rejoicing in the consciousness of augmented strength and vigor, is
permitted to expect continuance of years with large increase of freedom. No human counsel hath devised
nor hath any mortal hand worked out these great things. They are the gracious gifts of the Most High God,
who, while dealing with us in anger for our sins, hath nevertheless remembered mercy. It has seemed to me
fit and proper that they should be solemnly, reverently and gratefully acknowledged as with one heart and
one voice by the whole American People. I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United
States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe
the last Thursday of November next, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who
dwelleth in the Heavens. And I recommend to them that while offering up the ascriptions justly due to Him
for such singular deliverances and blessings, they do also, with humble penitence for our national
perverseness and disobedience, commend to His tender care all those who have become widows, orphans,
mourners or sufferers in the lamentable civil strife in which we are unavoidably engaged, and fervently
implore the interposition of the Almighty Hand to heal the wounds of the nation and to restore it as soon as
may be consistent with the Divine purposes to the full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquility and Union.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the United States to be affixed.
Done at the City of Washington, this Third day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight
hundred and sixty-three, and of the Independence of the Unites States the Eighty-eighth.

SCHOOL’S IN: DRIVE CAREFULLY (both on and off the road)
NEWS FROM THE DE LA SALLE SCHOOL
(516) 379-8660
Mark Bevilacqua knew well the story of The De La Salle School due to the involvement of his parents,
Marty and Susan Bevilacqua, in our mission. His sudden and tragic death in a motorcycle accident on
Sunrise Highway on 27 June is a loss to all of us. At the request of Mark’s parents, The De La Salle
School is using funds donated to our school in Mark’s memory to work in partnership with Literacy
Nassau to conduct a program for adult educational literacy for our students’ parents (Literacy Nassau,
located on Smith Street, was also a beneficiary of donations in Mark’s memory.)
Many of our students are immigrants or sons of immigrants, and many of their parents speak little or no English. It is
encouraging to report that more than one-quarter of the families of our students have at least one adult enrolled in this
program every Tuesday evening at our school.
During the pilot 30 week program currently underway a bilingual literary specialist works with the parents to increase their
own English proficiency, and also to help them understand the educational process. Since so many of the educational
communications are online, parents will be introduced to this technology so they can more easily help and keep track of the
academic progress of their son(s). While participating in the program the parents will have the opportunity to borrow the
Chromebooks to continue their learning exploration at home.
Education is the key to success and empowerment for our students and their families. It is exciting to see the initial success
of this new venture and it is a fitting tribute to the memory of Mark Bevilacqua.

SCRIPTURE REFLECTION
As we celebrate the feast of our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe, we hear Jesus say
“my kingdom does not belong to this world”. Then He says those famous words that have
resounded in Christian hearts throughout the ages: “Everyone who belongs to the truth
listens to My voice” (See John 18:33b-37). How do these words relate to the fact that Jesus is
our King? We need to understand that in the Oriental mentality of the Scriptures to listen to
someone meant to obey that individual. Jesus is saying more than just simply to listen to His
Words. He is implying obedience to His Words, that is, to accept Him as King. Every action
we take, every decision we make, every word we utter, shows whether or not we accept
Jesus as our King. Do we? Do we ask ourselves, what would Jesus say? What would He do if
He was in my shoes? In order to know the answer we must study the Gospels. We must
learn how He reacted to the different situations that confronted Him. Then it is up to us to respond as Mary did:
“I am the handmaid of the Lord.” Imitating that attitude will show that we accept Jesus Christ as our King.
FAITH AND PRAYER
Please Pray for Our Priests
O God, Who made Your Only Begotten Son eternal High Priest, grant that those He has chosen as ministers and
stewards of Your mysteries may be found faithful in carrying out the ministry they have received. Through our Lord
Jesus Christ, Your Son, Who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

MENSAJE DEL PASTOR
22 DE NOVIEMBRE 2015
En vivo desde … Freeport, ¡es el Pastor!
“Encienda y Sintonice a Lo que Hace Grande una Nación”
El sábado 7 de noviembre de 2015 millones de personas sintonizaron sus
televisores a la Compañía Nacional de Radiodifusión (NBC) para ver su
presentación semanal de La Noche del Sábado en Vivo (SNL). No hay nada
necesariamente inusual en esa ocurrencia. De hecho, se ha llevado a cabo
todos los sábados de octubre a mayo durante los últimos cuarenta años.
Lo que le dio tanto atractivo a la transmisión de esa semana fue su
anfitrión invitado, el Sr. Donald Trump, cuya presencia en el estudio atrajo
más atención que los temas de su campaña política; temas que no tienen
nada de risa.
El que les escribe no vio el programa el 7 de noviembre. Estoy, como dice
el dicho, cansado de hacerlo. Pero, puesto que “el Donald” fue el centro de la atención, es apropiado que el
Pastor mencione el evento; especialmente si se tiene en cuenta que miembros del rebaño que le ha sido
confiado probablemente si vieron el programa.
Antes de entrar en la carrera por la nominación presidencial del Comité Republicano, a Donald Trump se le
asociaba (al menos en ciertos círculos) con los casinos de juego de Atlantic City, Nueva Jersey, un programa
de televisión llamado “El Aprendiz”, o un campo de golf en Ferry Point, NY. Pero ahora, debido a su uso (o
abuso) de la "libertad de expresión", su nombre se asocia con México y China, O'Donnell y Kelley, Weiner y
Ramos, y "en vivo desde Nueva York …”
Hablo de Donald Trump en este Mensaje, porque sea que usted esté de
acuerdo o no con lo que dice el Sr. Trump (y tal vez hasta no esté de
acuerdo con la manera en que lo dice), sea que usted sea miembro del
Partido Republicano o no, todo el que se considera “estadounidense” no
puede menos que concordar con su lema: “¡Hagamos Grande a los Estados
Unidos otra vez!” Él dice “otra vez” porque los Estados Unidos en los que
vivimos hoy (donde la Biblia se encuentra en la lista de libros prohibidos y
los maestros no la pueden usar para enseñar en las Escuelas Públicas. Los
Estados Unidos en los que solo se pueden celebrar las Navidades si se
excluye a Cristo de la Navidad. Los Estados Unidos en los que se da más
atención a salvar el planeta que a salvar al niño en el vientre materno. Los
Estados Unidos en los que Dios ha sido excluido del Juramento a la
Bandera) es un país diferente de la “una nación, bajo Dios”, que los Padres
de la Patria establecieron cuando se separaron de Inglaterra para fundar una nación con libertad y justicia
para todos.
Es por medio de “apelar al Juez Supremo” como lo hicieron los Padres de la Patria que nosotros, el pueblo,
podemos hacer grande a los Estados Unidos otra vez. Así que, ¡en oración sintonicémonos con Dios!
AHORA UN MENSAJE DEL PAPA
(SOBRE LA FAMILIA)
PAPA FRANCISCO
AUDIENCIA GENERAL
Plaza San Pablo

La Familia - 21. Familias Heridas (II)
Queridos hermanos y hermanas, ¡buenos días!
Con esta catequesis retomamos nuestra reflexión sobre la familia. Después de haber hablado, la última vez,
de las familias heridas a causa de la incomprensión de los esposos, hoy quiero centrar nuestra atención en
otra realidad: cómo ocuparnos de quienes, tras el irreversible fracaso de su vínculo matrimonial, han iniciado
una nueva unión.
La Iglesia sabe bien que esa situación contradice el Sacramento cristiano. Sin embargo, su mirada de maestra
se nutre siempre en un corazón de madre; un corazón que, animado por el Espíritu Santo, busca siempre el
bien y la salvación de las personas. He aquí por qué siente el deber, «por amor a la verdad», de «discernir
bien las situaciones». Así se expresaba san Juan Pablo II, en la exhortación apostólica Familiaris consortio (n.
84), diferenciando entre quien sufrió la separación respecto a quien la provocó. Se debe hacer este
discernimiento.
Si luego contemplamos esta nueva unión con los ojos de los hijos pequeños —y los pequeños miran—, con
los ojos de los niños, vemos aún más la urgencia de desarrollar en nuestras comunidades una acogida real
hacia las personas que viven tales situaciones. Por ello es importante que el estilo de la comunidad, su
lenguaje, sus actitudes, estén siempre atentas a las personas, partiendo de los pequeños. Ellos son los que
sufren más en estas situaciones. Por lo demás, ¿cómo podremos recomendar a estos padres que hagan todo
lo posible para educar a sus hijos en la vida cristiana, dándoles el ejemplo de una fe convencida y practicada,
si los tuviésemos alejados de la vida de la comunidad, como si estuviesen excomulgados? Se debe obrar de
tal forma que no se sumen otros pesos además de los que los hijos, en estas situaciones, ya tienen que
cargar. Lamentablemente, el número de estos niños y jóvenes es verdaderamente grande. Es importante que
ellos sientan a la Iglesia como madre atenta a todos, siempre dispuesta a la escucha y al encuentro.
En estas décadas, en verdad, la Iglesia no ha sido ni insensible ni perezosa. Gracias a la profundización
realizada por los Pastores, guiada y confirmada por mis Predecesores, creció mucho la consciencia de que es
necesaria una acogida fraterna y atenta, en el amor y en la verdad, hacia los bautizados que iniciaron una
nueva convivencia tras el fracaso del matrimonio sacramental. En efecto, estas personas no están
excomulgadas: ¡no están excomulgadas!, y de ninguna manera se las debe tratar como tales: ellas forman
siempre parte de la Iglesia.
El Papa Benedicto XVI intervino sobre esta cuestión, solicitando un atento discernimiento y un sabio
acompañamiento pastoral, sabiendo que no existen «recetas sencillas» (Discurso en el VII Encuentro mundial
de las familias, Fiesta de los testimonios, Milán, 2 de junio de 2012, respuesta n. 5).
De aquí la reiterada invitación de los Pastores a manifestar abierta y coherentemente la disponibilidad de la
comunidad a acogerlos y alentarlos, para que vivan y desarrollen cada vez más su pertenencia a Cristo y a la
Iglesia con la oración, la escucha de la Palabra de Dios, la participación en la liturgia, la educación cristiana de
los hijos, la caridad, el servicio a los pobres y el compromiso por la justicia y paz.
El icono bíblico del buen Pastor (Jn 10, 11-18) resume la misión que Jesús recibió del Padre: dar la vida por
las ovejas. Esa actitud es un modelo también para la Iglesia, que acoge a sus hijos como una madre que da su
vida por ellos. «La Iglesia está llamada a ser siempre la casa abierta del Padre [...]» —¡Nada de puertas
cerradas! ¡Nada de puertas cerradas!—. «Todos pueden participar de alguna manera en la vida eclesial,
todos pueden integrar la comunidad. [...] La Iglesia [...] es la casa paterna donde hay lugar para cada uno con
su vida a cuestas» (Exhort. ap. Evangelii gaudium, n. 47). Los cristianos, del mismo modo, están llamados a
imitar al buen Pastor. Sobre todo las familias cristianas pueden colaborar con Él haciéndose cargo de la
atención de las familias heridas, acompañándolas en la vida de fe de la comunidad. Que cada uno haga su
parte asumiendo la actitud del buen Pastor, que conoce a cada una de sus ovejas y a ninguna excluye de su
amor infinito.

Los Diez Mandamientos Explicados por el Catecismo
2608 Ya en el Sermón de la Montaña, Jesús insiste en la conversión del corazón: la reconciliación con el hermano antes de
presentar una ofrenda sobre el altar (cf Mt 5, 23-24), el amor a los enemigos y la oración por los perseguidores (cf Mt 5, 44-45),
orar al Padre “en lo secreto” (Mt 6, 6), no gastar muchas palabras (cf Mt 6, 7), perdonar desde el fondo del corazón al orar (cf,
Mt 6, 14-15), la pureza del corazón y la búsqueda del Reino (cf Mt 6, 21. 25. 33). Esta conversión se centra totalmente en el
Padre; es lo propio de un hijo.

Reflexión Semanal
En esta celebración de Jesucristo, Rey del Universo, escuchamos el Evangelio en el que
Jesús nos dice que su “reino no es de este mundo”. Entonces Él pasa a decir palabras
famosas que han resonado en el corazón de todos los cristianos en el transcurso de las
edades: “Todo el que es de la verdad, escucha mi voz.” (Vea Juan 18:33-37) ¿Cómo se
relacionan esas palabras con el hecho de que Jesús es nuestro Rey? Necesitamos
adentrarnos en la mentalidad oriental. En esa manera de pensar el escuchar a alguien
significa obedecer a ese individuo. Aquí Jesús está infiriendo obediencia a sus palabras, es
decir, aceptarlo como Rey. ¿Lo estamos haciendo? ¿Nos preguntamos lo que Él diría, lo
que haría en nuestra situación? A fin de saber la respuesta tenemos que estudiar los
Evangelios. Tenemos que aprender como Él reaccionó antes las diversas situaciones en las
que se encontró. Entonces nos toca responder como lo hizo María “soy la sierva del Señor.”
Imitar esa conducta es aceptar a Jesucristo como Rey.
“Jóvenes Adultos Creciendo en Cristo”

THE KING
OF THE JEWS
Pilate said to Jesus, “Are You
the King of the Jews?” Jesus
answered, “Do you say this on
your own or have others told
you about Me? Pilate
answered, “I am not a Jew,
am I? … What have You
done?” Jesus answered, “My
Kingdom does not belong to
this world. If My Kingdom did
belong to this world, My
attendants would be fighting to
keep Me from being handed
over to the Jews. But as it
is, My Kingdom is not here.”
So Pilate said to Him, “Then
You are a king?” Jesus
answered, “You say that I am
a king. For this I was born
and for this I came into the
world, to testify the truth.”
Saint John XVIII: 33b-37
