Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe Nuestro Señor Jescristo, Rey del Universo

LA PROMESA DEL PARAÍSO Los ciudadanos estadounidenses escogen y eligen a sus líderes para ocupar los puestos políticos. Es el pueblo quien confiere la autoridad a unos pocos y nadie se mantiene en el poder permanentemente. El reino de Dios es completamente diferente. Cristo es nuestro Rey, pero se hizo humano para que nosotros pudiéramos tener la experiencia del reino de Dios. Jesús tenía el poder de perdonar a los pecadores, anara los enfermos y aun resucitar a los muertos, pero sin la parafernalia o símbolos del éxito y del poder. Todos estamos libres de acep-tar a Jesucristo o de rechazarlo como hizo Judas. Cuando Jesús estaba en la cruz los espectadores se burlaban de ese “rey” sin poder para “salvarse a sí mismo”. Uno de los criminales crucifi-cados con Jesús quería salir pronto de su agonía; el otro re-conoció la inocencia de Jesús y también su reino futuro. Como respuesta a la total fe y confianza de este hombre, Jesús le dice: “Yo te aseguro que hoy estarás conmigo en el paraíso” (Lucas 23:43). Ningún soberano de este mundo puede hacer semejante promesa. Copyright © 2009, World Library Publications. All rights reserved.

La Corresponsabilidad Vivida Ahora Una oración para esta solemnidad:

Dios todopoderoso y eterno, que quisiste fundar todas las co-sasen tu Hijo muy amado, Rey del universo, haz que toda crea-tura, liberada de la esclavidud, sirva a tu majestad y te alabe eternamente. Amén. (Sacramentario, Oración Colecta para la Solemnidad de Jesucristo, Rey del Universo) Copyright © 2009, World Library Publications. All rights reserved.

PROMISE OF PARADISE As American citizens we choose and elect leaders from among ourselves to political office. Authority is vested in the few by the many, and yet no one has a permanent hold on power. The reign of God is entirely different. As our King, Christ has rule over us. He became human so that we could experience God’s reign: Jesus had the power to for-give sinners, heal the sick, and even raise the dead, but without the trappings of power. All are free to accept Jesus Christ, or to turn away as Judas did. As Jesus hung on the cross, onlookers jeered at this “king” with no power to “save himself.” One of the criminals crucified with him wanted only quick release from his agony; the other acknowledged the power of Jesus’ innocence and his future rule. In re-sponse to this total faith and trust, Jesus said, “[T]oday you will be with me in paradise” (Luke 23:43). No earthly ruler can promise so much. Copyright © 2009, World Library Publications. All rights reserved.

Living Stewardship Now A prayer for this solemnity:

Almighty and merciful God, you break the power of evil and make all things new in your Son Jesus Christ, the King of the universe. May all in heaven and earth acclaim your glory and never cease to praise you. Amen. (Sacramentary, Opening Prayer for the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ the King) Copyright © 2009, World Library Publications. All rights reserved.

Reflections ~ Reflexiones: Gospel: Luke 23:35-43 As we celebrate the last Sunday of the Church year, Luke's Gospel leaves us with a "holy picture" to remem-ber and cherish. It is a crucifixion scene. Above the head of Jesus, a sign proclaims: "This is the king of the Jews." The soldiers and most of the crowd think that the sign is a bad joke. But a criminal who is hanging in a cross next to Jesus senses the truth about him. "Remember me when you enter upon your reign," he prays. And the King responds, "This day you will be with me in paradise. 1.) "Greater love than this no one has, that he give up his life for his friend." We might say, "Greater love than this no king has, that he give up his life for his people." This is the kind of king Jesus was and is. Now he is a Risen King, and we rise with him each day, every time we respond to grace in our lives, every time we imitate our king by overcoming evil with good. What can you do this week to be like Christ the King in love, in forgiveness, in gener-osity, in works of peace and justice?

Evangelo: Luke 23: 35-43 Al celebrar el último domingo del año de la Iglesia, el Evan-gelio de Lucas nos deja con un "cuadro sagrado" para recor-dar y apreciar. Es una escena de crucifixión. Sobre la cabeza de Jesús, un signo proclama: "Este es el rey de los judíos". Los soldados y la mayoría de la multitud piensan que la señal es un chiste malo. Pero un criminal que está colgado en una cruz junto a Jesús siente la verdad sobre él. "Acuérdate de mí cuando entres en tu reino", dijó. Y el Rey responde: "Este día estarás conmigo en el paraíso". 1.) "Mayor amor que este que nadie tiene, que renuncie a su vida por su amigo". Podríamos decir: "Mayor amor que este rey no tiene, que renuncie su vida por su pueblo". Este es el tipo de rey que Jesús era y es. Ahora él es un Rey Re-sucitado, y nosotros nos levantamos con él cada día, cada vez que respondemos a la gracia en nuestras vidas, cada vez que imitamos a nuestro rey superando el mal con el bien. ¿Qué puedes hacer esta semana para ser como Cristo Rey en el amor, en el perdón, en la generosidad, en las obras de paz y justicia?

If you have not received a brochure, please pick one up in the Parish of-fice TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION: Among the Catholics seeking reli-gious freedom in America were the Car-rolls of Maryland, who arrived in 1649 from Ireland via England. Charles Carroll, born in Annapolis in 1737, was the only Catholic signer of the Declaration of In-dependence, and was the longest-surviving signer. As was the custom for English Catholics, he attended English schools in Belgium and later university in France. By the time he signed the Decla-ration, he was the richest man in Amer-ica, and his decision to sign would hardly go unnoticed by the king. Because Carroll was so wealthy and because he was a Catholic, he had more to lose than the others. Those who signed became traitors to the Crown and risked losing everything. It is said that someone grumbled that there were many men in the world named Charles Carroll, and he could dodge responsibility if he had to. For that reason, he added a flair to his signature, “of Carrollton,” making it clear that he put everything at risk. His cousin John, also an ardent sup-porter of the American Revolution, was ordained a Jesuit priest and returned to Maryland at the outbreak of hostilities. Upheavals in Europe forced the Jesuit order to dissolve, leaving Carroll a secular priest. Ultimately, it was John Carroll who was asked to organize the Catholic Church in the new nation. No one was better positioned for this task, a cultured man from an esteemed family, a cher-ished friend of Benjamin Franklin and George Washington, and a man so thor-oughly attuned to an undercurrent of anti-Catholicism in the colonies that he could charm powerful people to a new point of view. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

S.J.al 415-422-6698. TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE: En la frontera entre México y El Paso en Texas en los Estados Unidos hay una grandísima imagen de Cristo Rey con sus brazos extendidos en bienvenida y sobre una cruz. En el continente Americano encontramos imágenes de Cristo en las montañas como Cristo Redentor en Brasil, o Cristo de los Andes, entre Chile y Ar-gentina, o el Cristo Rey en Colombia; todos observando calladamente pesa-res y progresos de sus pueblos y na-ciones. En toda Latinoamérica se grita esperanzadamente “Viva Cristo Rey”. La Iglesia universal honra a Cristo con el título de Rey solo desde 1925, pero siempre tuvo la certeza que el pobre Jesús de Nazaret es nuestro Maestro y Señor y, contra él no pue-den las fuerzas del mal ni la injusticia. Terminando el Año Litúrgico, es justo y necesario recordar y festejar que Jesús reina para siempre. En Latinoamérica y en todas par-tes donde la injusticia parece domi-nar, Cristo Rey es continuo recuerdo de la promesa divina; de la esperanza de un mundo mejor no allá en el cielo sino aquí en la tierra renovada. Por eso terminemos el año litúrgico gri-tando “Viva Cristo Rey”. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright, © J. S. Paluch Co.

Happy Thanksgiving From Church of the Epiphany & Staff

Dear Parishioners,

As Thanksgiving approaches, I always like to take time to reflect on my life and count my blessings that the dear Lord has bestowed upon me this year. When I think about what I am

most thankful for, my family and friends always stand out most in my mind.

It has been a great fortune to have each of you in my life. The kindness and generosity you have shown me is more than one person could ever hope for. Even as the cold of winter ap-proaches, I know my holidays will be warmed by your thoughtfulness and friendship. My

Thanksgiving wish is that each of you will know how appreciated you are.

I pray that you and your families will all have a warm, healthy, safe and wonderful Thanks-giving holiday!

Sincerely, Fr. Eugene Tungol

Pastor
