Our Lord Jesus Christ the King November 22, 2015 Jesus Christ is the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead and ruler of the kings of the earth. — Revelation 1:5 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. Copyright © J. S.

CHRIST THE KING

In ancient times as families grew they became tribes, clans, kingdoms, nations and empires. The role of the leader was very important. He or she had places of honor, a territory, all the external trappings of power, richly dressed and an army awaiting their command. They protected their people, gave moral leadership and were the rallying point around which their people gathered. Christ came amongst us and made us whole.

He called us to be a people committed to the Kingdom of God. But the only territory that He was concerned about was the human heart. Jesus used only one weapon—the Truth. “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life”. Jn.146. “I came into the world for this, to bear witness to the Truth.” Jn. 18:37. “The word became flesh, He lived among us, and we saw His glory, the glory that is His as the only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.” Jn. 1:14. Jesus came to reveal the truth about God the Father, loving and merciful; the truth of our brotherhood and sisterhood in the world, the truth which like a sword cuts through all vain glory, injustice and falsehood, the truth which sets people free; the truth that God loves us. Jesus did not want any personal glory, He gave the glory to the Father. Jesus did not lord it over people, His life was one of service. He did not want the acquisition of territory but the establishment in the hearts of His listeners of a way of life committed to the Truth. Sometimes truth is a scarce commodity. Over these last years, perjury is virtually taken for granted as a means to an end. Marketing and advertising are guided by success rather than the truth. Expediency and not truth are sometimes the policies of governments and companies. Jesus is King in the hearts of His followers when they are committed to the Truth. In God’s Light our games are shown up, our behavior is exposed. We are exhorted to be true to self, true to others and true to God. Truth is the backbone of the Kingdom of God. The ideal of Christ’s message on Truth was well expressed by Shakespeare.

“To thine own self be true And it must follow as night the day,

Thou canst not then be false to any man.”

Christ came to bear witness to the truth. This feast day of Christ the King we pray that we may give better witness to the truth. God Bless, Fr. Mike ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thanksgiving: I’m always thankful for what I receive, I’d be in trouble if I got what I deserved. Thanksgiving is a great big gamily holiday. Everybody gets together during half time. That’s the trouble with Thanksgiving. Two days later, you’re hungry again. There’s a lot to be thankful for. If you can’t pay your bills, be thankful that you’re not one of your creditors.

Nuestro Señor Jesucristo, Rey del Universo 22 de noviembre de 2015 Gracia y paz a ustedes, de parte de Jesucristo, el testigo fiel, el primogénito de los muertos, el soberano de los reyes de la tierra. — Apocalipsis 1:5 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.
