From the Pastor’s Desk… The King of hearts Jesus Christ is Our Lord! "To Him was given all power, honor and the Kingdom". We believe that He is the incarnate
Son of God in Jesus of Nazareth; He is a brother that has been glorified; He is the Word of God who has saved us; He is the One who died and that Resurrected.
Today we close the liturgical year, and the Church invites us to concentrate all our mind and our heart in the One, who is the center of our faith, the principle and the end of all, Jesus Christ –Our Lord. Today we want to proclaim Jesus as our King, as that personage who condenses in Himself all the aspirations of all humanity.
In our Christian life, Christ the King exercises His dominion: over our intelligence -through our faith, over our heart - through His love, over our will and our life - in submission to his Will. He is the Alpha and the Omega of everything that we think, of everything that we love and of all that we are.
I am the Truth and the life!, says Jesus. We know that the Truth will set us free. Yet how difficult it is to live this truth as a creature, in faith, and as an apostle! What is the truth? A sincere desire to be instructed? Is it indifference, skepticism, irony? Jesus, the Witness to the Truth, stands before the tribunal court of the world. He is frequently the One that we judge. So what is the truth in our Christian life? We should not fear the truth of what we really are. This truth touched Peter's conscience one day and he told Jesus: "Set Yourself apart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man". We should not be afraid.
We are called to be witnesses of the Truth, to be a brightness in humanity for Jesus. The Truth, that is God, shines for all of us, although many will stay seated, dazzled by so much clarity, for they prefer to close their eyes to their com-fort. Today we celebrate the Feast of Christ the King in humility and in simplicity; we celebrate it in the silence of a generous love, completely given over to the service of humanity. Our King comes from Heaven: He is the triumph of love over hatred, of humility over pride, of brotherly service over false attachments.
The Christian should be ardently in love with the Kingdom. Impassioned in the fight to show mankind how to live with truth and a full life, with more holiness and grace, with more justice, love and peace. "God does not give us impossible tasks, but, upon giving us what He gives, He invites us to do what we are able to do, then He asks us to do what we are not able to do and He helps us to be able to do so", as is well stated by St. Augustine. God bless you, Fr. Oscar

Del escritorio del señor Cura… Nuestro Rey de corazones Jesucristo es el Señor. “A Él se le dio poder, honor y reino”. Creemos en Él como Hijo de Dios que se ha encar-
nado en Jesús de Nazareth; como hermano que ha sido glorificado; como Palabra de Dios que nos ha salvado; como muerto que ha resucitado. Cristo es el Rey que está al servicio de la verdad. ¿Qué es la verdad? preguntó Pilato y sigue preguntando el hombre de hoy. Ha venido a este mundo para ser “testigo de la verdad”.
Hoy cerramos el año litúrgico, y la Iglesia nos invita a concentrar toda nuestra mente y nuestro corazón en quien es el centro de nuestra fe, el principio y el fin de la misma, Jesucristo el Señor. Hoy queremos proclamar a Jesucristo co-mo Rey, como aquel personaje que condensa en sí todas las aspiraciones de la humanidad.
En nuestra vida cristiana, Cristo Rey ejerce su dominio: sobre nuestra inteligencia por medio de la fe, sobre nues-tro corazón por medio del amor, sobre nuestra voluntad y sobre nuestra vida por la sumisión a su Voluntad. Es el alfa y la omega de todo lo que pensamos, de todo lo que amamos y de aquello que somos. Una pregunta surca la historia de la humanidad: ¿Quién soy para ti?
¡Yo soy la Verdad y la vida! Dice Jesús. Sabemos que la Verdad nos hará libres. ¡Pero qué difícil es vivir la propia verdad como criatura, creyente y apóstol! ¿Qué es la verdad? ¿Un deseo sincero de instruirse? ¿Es indiferencia, escepti-cismo, ironía? Jesús, testigo de la Verdad está ante el tribunal del mundo. Es frecuente que juzguemos a Jesús. ¿Qué es la verdad en nuestra vida de cristianos? No debemos temer a la verdad de nosotros mismos. Pedro tuvo conciencia de ella un día y dijo a Jesús: “Apártate de mí, Señor, que soy un hombre pecador”. No debemos tener miedo.
Estamos llamados a ser testigos de la Verdad, una especie de resplandor de Jesús. La Verdad, que es Dios, bri-lla para todos, aunque muchos se sientan ofuscados por tanta claridad y prefieren cerrar los ojos por comodidad. Cele-bremos hoy la fiesta de Cristo rey en la humildad y en la sencillez; celebrémosla en el silencio de un amor generoso, to-talmente volcados al servicio de la humanidad. Nuestro rey viene del cielo: Es el triunfo del amor sobre el odio, de la hu-mildad sobre el orgullo, del servicio fraterno sobre el amor.
El cristiano debe ser un apasionado del Reino. Apasionado en la lucha por conseguir que el hombre viva con más verdad y vida, más santidad y gracia, más justicia, amor y paz. “Dios no manda cosas imposibles, sino que, al mandar lo que manda, te invita a hacer lo que puedas y pedir lo que no puedas y te ayuda para que puedas”, como bien dice San Agustín. Dios les bendiga, P. Oscar
