CHRIST THE KING "Hail the King of the Jews." The kingship of Christ has always been different than the world expected. Many of Jesus' disciples hoped for an earthly Messiah who would overthrow the Romans. But, as Jesus says in today's Gospel, his kingdom is "not of this world." And yet it is a very real kingdom. Jesus is a very real Lord. And we are called to invite Jesus to be king of our lives. In the early 20th century, disillusionment with authority of all kinds was growing. Revolutions, atheistic thinkers, and World War I contributed to a rejection of faith. In 1925, Pope Pius XI called the Church and the world back to a sense of hope in Christ. He instituted the solemnity of Christ the King on the last Sunday before Advent. How is Jesus king of your life today? LIVE THE LITURGY - INSPIRATION FOR THE WEEK We live in interesting times. Life is constantly changing. While this can be exciting on one hand, change also presents challenges. We live in an age of relativism where people can pick and choose the truths that suit them and build their own system of beliefs. While humans certainly have the freedom to choose, losing sight of long-standing universal truths is not such a healthy course. Jesus Christ our King is our universal truth! He is the God who is nonnegotiable, our non-option! In Christ, we know what truth is. He alone points us to God, our true selves, our proper relationships with one another, and the world in which we live. Christ directs us to the poor and vulnerable and teaches us what God's kingdom is meant to be. Christ is the king who serves others. He gets dirty. He ascends the throne of the cross. We are called to do the same. VIVIR LA LITURGIA - INSPIRACIÓN DE LA SEMANA Vivimos en un tiempo interesante. La vida cambia constantemente. Esto puede ser emocionante de una forma, pero el cambio también trae retos. Vivimos en un tiempo de relativismo donde la gente puede escoger las verdades que le conviene y crear su propio sistema de creencias. Mientras que los humanos tienen la libertad de escoger, perder vista de las verdades universales no es un camino saludable. Jesucristo nuestro Rey es nuestra verdad universal! Él es el Dios no negociable, sin opción. En Cristo, sabemos la verdad. Solo Jesús nos enciende el camino hacia Dios, hacia nuestro ser verdadero, hacia nuestras relaciones hacia el mundo en que vivimos. Cristo nos dirige hacia el pobre y el vulnerable y nos demuestro cómo debe ser el Reino. Cristo es el rey que sirve a los demás. Se eleva al trono de la cruz. Estamos llamados a hacer lo mismo. SUNDAY S READINGS KID S CORNER First Reading: His dominion is an everlasting dominion that shall not be taken away, his kingship shall not be destroyed. (Dn 7:14b) Psalm: The Lord is king; he is robed in majesty. (Ps 93) Second Reading: "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "the one who is and who was and who is to come, the almighty." (Rv 1:8) Gospel: "For this I was born and for this I came into the world,to testify to the truth.everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice." (Jn 18:37b) Next Sunday: Jer 33:14-16/Ps 25:4-5, 8-9, 10, 14 [1b]/1 Thes 3:12--4:2/Lk 21:25-28, Sharing the Gospel Today is Christ the King Sunday. Instead of using his power selfishly to get whatever he wanted, Jesus used his power to free people from sickness, from death, and from evil. Jesus came to tell us the truth about God. Now we need to listen to the voice of Jesus and follow his example. Prayer Dear God, thank you for sending Jesus to be our loving king. VERSO DEL EVANGELIO Pilato le dijo: " Conque tú eres rey?" Jesús le contestó: "Tú lo has dicho. Soy rey. Yo nací y vine al mundo para ser testigo de la verdad. Todo el que es de la verdad, escucha mi voz". - Jn 18, 37 Domingo: Dn 7, 13-14/Sal 93, [1]/Ap 1, 5-8/Jn 18, Domingo siguiente: Jr 33, 14-16/Sal 25, [1]/1 Tes 3, 12--4, 2/Lc 21,

3 WHY DO WE DO THAT? - CATHOLIC LIFE EXPLAINED Question: We live in a country that upholds the separation of Church and state. What is the role of Catholics in society? Answer: The role of the Church in the world has taken different forms over time, but the theme is the same. Be disciples in it! As the lay faithful -- that is, not vowed priest or religious -- we are called to live and love in the circumstances of our daily lives. St. John Paul II wrote a document about the laity. In it he wrote, "In their situation in the world God manifests His plan and communicates to them their particular vocation of seeking the Kingdom of God by engaging in temporal affairs and by ordering them according to the plan of God" (On the Lay Members of Christ's Faithful, 15). God wants us in the hospitals, the board rooms, the law offices, the food pantries, and the little league games! We are to engage in the affairs of the world. But when we're there, we should live the plan of God. We need to respect those around us, engage in just business and legal practices, and love our children. We should care for the earth, use our money wisely, and get to know our neighbors. We must advocate for social policies that respect human dignity and human freedom. No matter our state in life, we are invited to build the kingdom of God!
