Reflection on the Readings: Jesus answered, My kingdom does not belong to this world. (John 18:36) How often do we put all our time and energy into building a kingdom here on earth, forgetting that life here is short? The real kingdom is in the next life. Yet, how much time and energy do we invest in working for that eternal kingdom? Card Ministry: The Card Ministry will be meeting this Thursday, November 29 at 1:30 in the Parish Hall. Advent is Coming: Next Sunday, December 2, we begin the Advent Season as a way to prepare ourselves to celebrate the true reason for Christmas. Best Advent Ever is a free email program that will help you slow down and focus on what matters most during this busy season. You'll experience Advent in a whole new way leading to the best Christmas of your life! Just search for Best Advent Ever or Dynamic Catholic to sign up. Christ the King: Today we celebrate the Solemnity of Christ the King, acknowledging that Jesus Christ is above all temporal rulers, past, present, or future. We also recognize that Jesus Christ should reign in our lives, guiding us in our thoughts, our decisions, and our conduct. In both the universe that is the entire world and the universe that is our own heart, Jesus Christ is Lord.
