“Gratitude can transform common days into Thanksgiving,
turn routine jobs into joy,
and change ordinary opportunities into blessings.”
(William Arthur Ward)
OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, KING OF THE UNIVERSE
THE LORD’S FLOCK
Sheep are high-maintenance animals. They are not very intelligent. Without
guidance and care, especially in a climate like Israel’s, they would die quickly
from predators, starvation, or just their own slowness. The scriptural image of
us as the Lord’s flock is not terribly flattering to us, since it is only the neverending diligence of a watchful shepherd that allows the flock to survive.
The feast of Christ the King was intended to call the world back to Christ as the
sole power of the world, to bring back a flock that had been scattered by many
negative forces of the growing industrial, scientific, and war‑torn world of the early twentieth century. It is
fitting that, as we celebrate Christ the King, we hear about Christ the Shepherd who cares for us and who,
likewise, will be there at the end of time. Interestingly enough, as the Gospel illustrates, our own destiny is
determined by the way we have been “shepherds” to the rest of the flock.
TODAY’S READINGS
First Reading — I will rescue my scattered sheep (Ezekiel 34:11-12, 15-17).
Psalm — The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want (Psalm 23).
Second Reading — As in Adam all die, so too in Christ all shall be brought to life (1 Corinthians 15:20-26,
28).
Gospel — Whatever you did to the least ones, you did to me (Matthew 25:31-46).
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE OFFICE WILL BE CLOSED ON THURSDAY 27 AND FRIDAY 28.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING DAY!

NUESTRO SEÑOR JESUCRISTO, REY DEL UNIVERSO
EL REBAÑO DE JESÚS
Las ovejas son animales que necesitan mucha atención. No son
muy inteligentes. Especialmente en un clima como el de Israel,
morirían rápidamente a causa de predadores, hambre o por su
lentitud. La imagen bíblica de nosotros como el rebaño del Señor
no es halagadora porque solamente con la vigilancia constante del
pastor cuidadoso el rebaño puede sobrevivir.
La institución de la fiesta de Cristo Rey fue motivada por la
intención de llevar el mundo a Cristo como el único poder de este
mundo; y también de hacer volver el rebaño dispersado por las
tantas fuerzas negativas del creciente mundo industrial y
científico, desgarrado por la guerra, del siglo veinte. Mientras
celebramos a Cristo Rey, es muy apropiado entender que el Cristo
Pastor nos cuida ahora y va a estar presente en el momento de la
separación de buenos y malos en el juicio final. Como el Evangelio
ilustra bien, nuestro propio destino está
determinado por nuestro servicio como
pastores al resto del rebaño.
LECTURAS DE HOY
Primera lectura — El pastor-rey busca a
los perdidos y sana a los heridos (Ezequiel
34:11-12, 15-17).
Salmo — El Señor es mi pastor, nada me
falta
(Salmo 23 [22]).
Segunda lectura — Cristo nuestro rey ha conquistado la muerte
(1 Corintios 15:20-26, 28).
Evangelio — El Hijo del Hombre se sentará en su glorioso trono y
los separará unos de otros (Mateo 25:31-46).
Venta de Perros Calientes organizada por
Jovenes para Cristo (JPC)
El Grupo de Jovenes para Cristo continuaran vendiendo Perros
Calientes todos los domingos despues de misa de 1pm. Los
fondos recaudados seran utilizados para su Retiro de Iniciacion
Cristiana que se llevara a cabo los dias 6, 7 y 8 de febrero de
