I pray these lines find all doing well. Today we celebrate the feast of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe. Growing up I always heard the celebration called Christ the King. The Church truly is brilliant, I like ‘King of the Universe” so much more because it reminds us that everything we see, experience and are is totally from God. All of it, rivers, lakes, mountains, even stars and all that we acquire by science about distant galaxies is all the artwork of Our King! Knowing that The Lord is responsible for all this it is gut wrenching to then think about today’s Gospel of the crucifixion! One of my favorite Christian rock groups growing up was the group known as Petra. One of their songs was called “Kings Ransom.” I will end my article today by quoting this song which speaks the truth more eloquently than I ever could.
“It’s such a paradox – it’s such a mystery Why a King would leave His throne to save humanity. They could not have known when they mocked Him in disgrace, they could not have known when they spit upon His face. The Rose of Sharon wore a crown of thorns that day. The carpenter had a nail right through his hand. The Master of the earth became a servant of no worth and paid a King’s ransom for my soul.” God Bless You, Love, Fr. Mike

Congratulations to all of the 2019 recipients of the St. Jude Medal Award! This Sunday, Nov. 24 at 3:00 p.m. at the Cathedral of St. Jude the Apostle, Bishop Parkes will honor one lay member from each of our parishes for their distinguished and outstanding service. Whether it’s running the food pantry at their parish or visiting the sick, these men and women share the love of Christ in many visible ways. Some of the honorees lead their parish music ministry or are dedicated catechists; some are liturgical coordinators or organize the weekly fish fry. Whatever the offerings they provide, they exemplify gratefulness to God’s blessings in their service to his people. Mrs. Longina Alvarez from our parish is a recipient this year! Congratulations Longina and thank you for all you do for our parish!!

Nuestro Señor Jesucristo, Rey del Universo
24 de noviembre de 2019
DE REYES Y REINADOS Los estadounidenses tienen una relación incomoda con los reyes. La Revolución Estadounidense se peleó para lograr la independencia del Rey Jorge, después de todo. Sin embargo, hoy cada iglesia católica alrededor del mundo celebra la Solemnidad del Nuestro Señor Jesucristo, Rey del Universo. La celebración de hoy de la Iglesia nos invita a ver más allá de nuestras lealtades nacionales y regocijarnos en nuestra primera identidad. Somos hijos de Dios en Jesús, Cristo el Rey. Nuestras lecturas nos ayudan a considerar cómo pertenecer al Reino de Dios. El libro de Samuel captura el profundo anhelo de los israelitas por un rey que los pastoree. San Pablo recuerda a los colosenses que pertenecemos al reino de Cristo, cuyo poder alaba en un hermoso himno. Por último, el Evangelio de Lucas evoca el tipo de rey que Jesús elige ser, un siervo sufriente, un hombre para los demás. Al sacrificar su vida por nosotros, Jesús abre las puertas del Paraíso. LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura — David hace un pacto con los ancianos de Israel en presencia del Señor y lo ungen como rey de Israel (2 Samuel 5:1-3). Salmo — Vayamos con alegría al encuentro del Señor (Salmo 122 [121]). Segunda lectura — El Padre nos arrancó del poder de las tinieblas y nos trasladó al Reino de su Hijo amado (Colosenses 1:12-20). Evangelio — El malhechor arrepentido recibe la promesa del paraíso de boca de Jesús (Lucas 23:35-43). LECTURAS DE LA SEMANA Lunes: Dn 1:1-6, 8-20; Dn 3:52-56; Lc 21:1-4 Martes: Dn 2:31-45; Dn 3:57-61; Lc 21:5-11 Miércoles: Dn 5:1-6, 13-14, 16-17, 23-28; Dn 3:62-67; Lc 21:12-19 Jueves: Dn 6:12-28; Dn 3:68-74; Lc 21:20-28 Día de Acción de Gracias—sugerencia: Eclo 50:22-24; Sal 145 (144):2-11; 1 Cor 1:3-9; Lc 17:11-19 Viernes: Dn 7:2-14; Dn 3:75-81; Lc 21:29-33 Sábado: Rom 10:9-18; Sal 19 (18):8-11; Mt 4:18-22 Domingo: Is 2:1-5; Sal 122 (121):1-9; Rom 13:11-14; Mt 24:37-44
