“Wherever God rules over the human heart as king, there is the kingdom of God established!” ... This last Sunday of the liturgical year we cele-brate the feast of Christ the King, challenging our loyalties. “Long live Christ the King!” “Viva Cristo Rey!” Pope Pius XI instituted the feast in 1925, the 16th centenary of the First Council of Nicea, in 325, which taught the unity of Christ with the Father, and therefore, with the Father’s rule! As Pope Pius XI said, when all recognize “both in private and in public life, that Christ is King, society will at last receive the great blessings of real liberty, well or-dered discipline, peace and harmony.” Wow! ... Ordained a priest of the Apostles of Jesus on November 24, 1990 in Uganda, was Associate Pas-tor in Mombasa, Kenya (1991-1993), Novice Direc-tor (1994-1996) and General Financial Adminis-trator (1996-1998), in Nairobi, Kenya, further stud-ies in Business Administration in Tanzania (1998-2001), Vicar-General of the Apostles of Jesus (2002-2008), and then at the Gregorian Pontifical University in Rome for Biblical Studies (2008-2014). And now, here with us at Saint John, via the Imperial Valley. That’s the first 25 years of gener-ous and faithful service by Father Ben. Celebrate his 25th Anniversary of Priestly Ordination with him this Sunday (22) after morning Masses in the hall. Refreshments are being served. Special en-velopes are available for your convenience! Come along and greet Father Ben. Congratulations! ... All children in 2nd Grade through 12th Grade are invited to be part of the special choir for our 6:00pm Children’s Christmas Eve Mass. Contact Julie Marner, our Music Director, at 760 753-6254 or by e-mail at music@saintjohnencinitas.org ... Saint John School students were busy last week at ‘Astro Camp’, while others were exploring the depths of the ‘Star of India’ on San Diego Harbor. ... Remember, if you shop at Amazon.com, some of your expenditure can come right back to our Saint John School. You just have to sign-up! Go to smile.amazon.com Choose ‘Create a New Ac-count’. Enter information. Select a Charitable Or-ganization, that’s ‘Pastor of St John the Evangelist Catholic Parish Encinitas’. Choose Encinitas loca-tion. Then begin shopping, and helping our school! ... On Thanksgiving Day, this Thursday (26), we have a special Family Mass at 9:00am. Bring the bread and wine to be used at your family Thanks-giving Dinner for a special blessing. Gratitude!

... Harvey and Joyce Noel, long time parishioners, established Hawkes Home Inc as a recovery home for men transitioning from custody to a responsible and productive life in society.

Contributions last weekend (15) amounted to $14,227.00 with 337 families using parish enve-lopes. A further $4,912.56 was contributed online by 102 families! Thank you! ... Sincere sympathies to Dan and Cindy (from Re-ligious Ed) Combs on the death of their son, Jeremy, and to Carol Larion on the death of her daughter, Clarise. May they truly rest in peace. ... Each Christmas, Saint John parishioners seek to assist needy families from our midst with baskets of food and toys. Donations of food and toys are again needed and most welcome. Watch for suggestions and the boxes at the back of the church! ... Our Knights of Columbus have great Christmas Trees for sale on our lower parking lot, weekdays from 5:00pm to 8:00pm, Saturdays from 8:00am to 8:00pm, and Sundays from 10:00am to 8:00pm, beginning this Friday (27). All the proceeds go to charity. Quality trees at affordable prices! ... Next Sunday (29) remember to lend your finan-cial support to our Annual Collection for the Na-tional Needs of the Church to assist our Black and Indian Missions, our Catholic Home Missions, the Catholic Communications Campaign, the Campaign for Human Development, which does great work among the poor, and our National Catholic Univer-sity. Please use the special envelopes provided! ... The First Sunday of Advent is the beginning of the new liturgical year and a renewed encounter with Christ, if we dare! That’s this coming Sunday (29). “Come Lord Jesus!” ... On Thanksgiving Day, this Thursday (26) Fa-ther Joe’s Villages has their 14th Annual Thanks-giving 5K Run/Walk, from 7:30am to 10:00am in Balboa Park, with a Special Mass at 6:30am at the Plaza de Panama.

This Thanksgiving, may we be ever grateful for what we have, generous to those without, and know the blessings of love, hope and peace! ... “Gratitude is the attitude of beatitude!” Happy Thanksgiving!

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.

Nuestro Señor Jesucristo, Rey del Universo

Page 6 Saint John the Evangelist November 22, 2015

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 iden-tity. 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 life-style 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 incorpora-tion into his work for the life of the world. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
