4 The Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe First Reading: Daniel 7:13-14 Daniel describes the one who will appear on the clouds of heaven and receive glory. People of every language will serve this one, and his leadership and community will be his forever. HIS WORD TODAY BY REV. WILLI J. REILLY A FRESH PERSPECTIVE ON THE SUNDAY READINGS Second Reading: Revelation 1:5-8 Jesus is so powerful, he is the ruler of kings. He loved us enough to free us from sin, and so he will be glorified forever. He will appear again and be seen by all the people of the earth. God calls himself the first and last, "the One who is and who was and who is to come," reminding all people that God will remain with us always. Gospel: John 18:33b-37 Pilate asks Jesus if he is a king. Jesus explains that his kingdom is not of this world. Pilate asks again if Jesus is a king, to which he replies, "I came into the world to testify to the truth. Anyone committed to the truth hears my voice. GATHERING OF THE SHEEP Come and talk with others about God and Church at Frank s Pizza every Tuesday from 6:30 to 9:00PM. Jesus Christ is the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead and the ruler of the kings of the earth. In Him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by His blood, who has made us into a kingdom of priests for His God and Father, to Him be glory and power forever. Amen. On the day of our baptism when the minister took the holy chrism and anointed our foreheads we were told that now we share with Jesus in the threefold role of priest, prophet and king. The name Christ means the anointed one. We often refer to baptism by another name christening. As we bring the church year to a close, we pledge our loyalty to Jesus Christ, and dedicate ourselves to build the kingdom of Jesus Christ. The many parables taught by Jesus described His kingdom, the church. Many told us of the hidden treasure, as well as the weeds and the wheat. The kingdom of Jesus finds good and bad, strengths and weaknesses, but it s the kingdom of the Lord and we are part of it. Let us build the kingdom of God, as He wishes it to be. May we pray, thy kingdom come with new awareness and deep devotion. The Food Pantry needs your help! The Pantry needs Shampoos, body washes and soaps, detergents, Tuna Fish, cereals, Peanut Butters, Jellys, Macaroni and cheese.

Consistent Ethic of Life The meaning of a consistent ethic is to say in the Catholic community that our moral tradition calls us beyond the split so evident in the wider society between moral witness to life before and after birth. Does this mean that everyone must do everything? No! There are limits of time energy and competency. There is a shape to every individual vocation. People must specialize, groups must focus their energies. The consistent ethic does not deny this (Cardinal Joseph Bernardin, Address at Seattle University, March 2, 1986). This time of year, as we come together to celebrate Thanksgiving, please consider making a gift to the Bishop s Annual Appeal as a way to give thanks for our many blessings. Each year, tens of thousands of people in profound need seek out the services of ouur Catholic Charities and, with the help of the Bishop s Annual Appeal, they find an open door and a compassionate response. Please make a pledge to our Bishop s Annual Appeal today!
