2 Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe Let us go rejoicing to the house of the Lord. - - Psalm 122 Thank you for attending Mass with us today. Monsignor Michael Reed, Father Hank Lech and the St. Rose of Lima parish family welcome visitors and new members. If you are not currently a registered member and wish to be, please contact the parish office, or complete the form on the front of this bulletin and drop it in the collection basket. Kingship The book of Samuel recounts for us today the anointing of David as king of Israel. It was the elders of Israel who declared David king that day, but it was God who called David to shepherd Israel. Thus mandated by the citizens of his kingdom and by his God, David took his place in a long line of kings. The apostle Paul speaks to us of kingship as well, but on a much higher plane: the kingship of Jesus our Lord. As great as David was, he and all earthly monarchs who came before and after him in their kingdoms around the world are minor kings by comparison to the true King. And lastly, we hear the story of that true King in perhaps his weakest moment: near death, hanging on a cross, taunted by a common criminal and by the world at large. Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co. King of Mercy This is the last day of the extraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy that began on December 8, Now is the perfect time to reflect on the year. What was the Year of Mercy like? How did God's forgiveness surprise and strengthen us? In what ways did Jesus' example enlighten our hearts and actions? Today's Gospel can guide our reflection. Jesus hangs on the cross in agony. What pain have we endured for others? People of all sorts sneer at Jesus, mocking him. Have we felt the sting of dishonor or hatred? Keeping his eye on Paradise, Jesus forgives his persecutors. Have we forgiven others, even if they didn't (or won't) apologize? Jesus uses some of his last breaths to comfort another dying man. Have we tried to tend to others' needs, even when we don't feel up to the task? Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co.

Call Marianne at Socks for Christmas The Jail Ministry gives socks to inmates for Christmas, and we re asking parishioners to help! The jail floor gets very cold in the winter and since inmates only wear flip-flops, having a pair of socks would be very comforting. This is the only Christmas gift they will receive and many of the inmates actually break down and cry when they are presented with this small gift. Tube socks are needed for men and women and must be 95% solid white. No brand names, logos, etc. are allowed. Please collect a package or two and drop them off in the grocery carts in the back of the church by December 11th. Thank you for your generosity. Thank you to Jeff Fisher, Gary Smith and Randy Vanburen for their time and talent in putting the finishing touches on the recent construction walkway area. The landscape timbers look great! Terrific teamwork with the Landscaping Crew!
