A Message from our Pastor
Viva Christo Rey! Long live Christ the King.
Today we celebrate the Feast of Jesus Christ,
King of the Universe. It is also the last Sunday in the
Church year and we are challenged to walk with Jesus,
our King through Advent and welcome him into our lives
in a new way in Christmas. For us, as we begin the Year
of Mercy as a Jubilee, I invite all of us to pray and invite
Jesus the source of Mercy who leads us to God our
Merciful Father and in the grace of the Holy Spirit gives
us the corporal and spiritual works of Mercy to bless us
as a community. I encourage each of us to take these
next few weeks to learn as much as we can about the
year of mercy. You can Google Misericordiae Vultus the
Bull of Indiction by Pope Francis. You can go to the
official Website for the Year of Mercy www.im.va. You
can read the Diary of St. Faustina, the Saint of Mercy,
and you can pray special prayers asking for mercy, like
the Divine Mercy Chaplet. Let us all open our lives,
hearts, families, and soul to the gift of Mercy that we
have been given by God. God bless, Fr Gannon

TRUE STEWARDSHIP
The gospel message proclaimed throughout the New
Testament invites us to live in harmony with the world. This
is a challenge to care for the world and be stewards of all
that God has given us. Like generations before us, we are
entrusted with the care of the earth so that generations to
follow may enjoy the same gifts. Sometimes, however, we
are absorbed into the ways of the world. When we are of
the world, we rely heavily on the power of wealth, beauty,
fame, and accumulation of material possessions. We want
earthly possessions and carelessly turn our hearts from the
responsibilities of stewardship and conservation.
The readings today challenge us to walk away from the
world so that we might inherit our share of God’s kingdom.
How we live our lives directly reflects our love for God.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
For good reason, Americans have been ambivalent
about “kings” for many years, even long before George III’s
troops were sent packing in 1776. 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.
—Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co
TRUE GRATITUDE
Let us remember that, as much has been
given us, much will be expected from us, and
that true homage comes from the heart as well
as from the lips, and shows itself in deeds.
—Theodore Roosevelt
LA VERDADERA CORRESPONSABILIDAD
El mensaje del Evangelio que proclama el Nuevo
Testamento nos invita a una vida de armonía con el
mundo creado. Tenemos el reto de cuidar el mundo y
sentirnos corresponsables de todo lo que Dios nos ha
dado. Al igual que generaciones anteriores, se nos ha
confiado el cuidado de la tierra para que las
generaciones que nos sigan puedan disfrutar los mismos
dones. Algunas veces, sin embargo, nos quedamos
absortos en las cosas del mundo. Cuando somos del
mundo, confiamos demasiado en el poder de la riqueza,
la belleza, la fama y la acumulación de posesiones
materiales. Deseamos las posesiones terrenas y con
desdén
alejamos
nuestro
corazón
de
las
responsabilidades de nuestro deber de cuidar el planeta
y preservarla.
Las lecturas de hoy nos retan a alejarnos del mundo
para que podamos heredar nuestra parte del Reino de
Dios. Cómo vivimos nuestra vida refleja nuestro amor
por Dios. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
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.
Continuar . . . .
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!—Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright

MENSAJE DE NUESTRO PÁRROCO
¡Viva Cristo Rey! ¡Que siempre viva
Cristo el Rey! Hoy celebramos la
fiesta de Cristo Rey del universo. Es también
el último domingo del calendario litúrgico y
somos desafiados a caminar con Cristo,
nuestro Rey a través del Adviento y darle la
bienvenida a nuestras vidas en una manera
nueva en la Navidad. Al comenzar este Año
de Fe como un jubileo, los invito a todos a
orar y a invitar a Jesús como la fuente de
Misericordia que nos guía hacia Dios nuestro
Padre Misericordioso y con la gracia del
Espíritu Santo nos de las obras de misericordia
para bendecirnos como comunidad. Les animo
a cada uno a que durante las semanas
siguientes aprendan lo más que puedan sobre
el año de la Misericordia. Pueden buscar en
Google el documento (bula) del papa
Francisco Misericordiae Vultus, pueden ir a la
página oficial del Año de la Misericordia
www.im.va, puede leer el diario de Santa
Faustina, la santa de la misericordia, y puede
hacer oraciones especiales pidiendo
misericordia, como la coronilla de la divina
Misericordia. Abramos nuestras vidas,
nuestros corazones, nuestras familias y
nuestras almas al regalo de Misericordia que
Dios nos ha dado. Que Dios les bendiga. Padre
Gannon.
LA VERDADERA GRATITUD Recordemos que así, como
lo mucho que se nos ha dado, mucho se espera de nosotros
y que el verdadero agradecimiento viene del corazón y se
expresa con la boca, además se muestra con las obras.
