OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST KING OF THE UNIVERSE
November 23, 2014
Dear Friends in St. Dominic,
Queridos Amigos en St. Dominic,
The Solemnity of Christ the King, which every Catholic
throughout the entire world is celebrating at the last Sunday
in ordinary time, is a new thing. The Church has existed
for almost 2000 years, but this Solemnity is less than 100
years old. It was established by Pope Pius XI in 1925. He
explained his reasons for doing so in an encyclical letter
called "Quas primas". First he explained that throughout
history liturgical feasts have been instituted in response to
particular needs that arise in the life of the world and the
Church. He gives the example of the feasts in honor of the
martyrs, of the celebration of Corpus Christi and the Sacred
Heart. And then he explains which need this new celebration
addresses.
La Solemnidad de Cristo Rey, todos los católicos en todo el
mundo entero está celebrando en el último domingo en tiempo
ordinario, es una cosa nueva. La Iglesia ha existido por casi 2000
años, pero esta solemnidad es menor que 100 años de edad. Fue
establecido por el Papa Pío XI en 1925. Él explicó sus razones
para hacerlo en una carta encíclica llamada "Quas Primas". En
primer lugar, explicó que a lo largo de historia fiestas litúrgicas
se han instituido en respuesta a las necesidades particulares que
surgen en la vida del mundo y de la Iglesia. Él da el ejemplo de
las fiestas en honor de los mártires, de la celebración del Corpus
Christi y del Sagrado Corazón. Y luego explica que necesita esta
nueva celebración direcciones.
He was writing this encyclical in 1925, when the world was
still trying to recover from World War I, which had devastated
Europe and shattered modernity's hopes for unlimited progress
based solely on human reason. 1925 was also only a few years
after the Russian Bolshevik Revolution, which had given birth
to the world's first explicitly atheist totalitarian regime: Soviet
communism. Everywhere the pope looked, he saw human
societies abandoning Christian values and trying to build
paradise on earth through other means. But if humanity
had been able to perfect itself by itself, without God's help,
then Jesus Christ would never have come to earth.
Él estaba escribiendo esta encíclica en 1925, cuando el mundo
estaba todavía tratando de recuperarse de la Primera Guerra
Mundial, que había devastado Europa y destrozado las esperanzas
de la modernidad para el progreso ilimitado basado únicamente
en la razón humana. 1925 fue también sólo unos pocos años
después de la Revolución bolchevique de Rusia, lo que había
dado a luz al primer régimen totalitario explícitamente ateo del
mundo: el comunismo soviético. En todas partes el Papa miró,
las sociedades humanas abandonar los valores cristianos y tratando de construir paraíso en la tierra a través de otros medios. Pero
si la humanidad había sido capaz de perfeccionarse por sí mismo,
sin la ayuda de Dios, entonces Jesús Cristo nunca habría venido a
la tierra.
The fact is, Jesus did come. He brought his Gospel and his
grace to a fallen race, and only by believing in that Gospel and
accepting that grace can individuals and societies achieve true
and lasting peace and prosperity. Pope Pius XI instituted
the Solemnity of Christ the King as a way to remind the
world that to reject Christ, either in private life or in public
life, is to reject our only hope, and to accept him is to accept
salvation.
El hecho es que Jesús vino. Él trajo su Evangelio y su gracia a
una raza caída, y sólo por creer en ese Evangelio y aceptar que
la gracia los individuos y las sociedades pueden lograr la paz y
la prosperidad verdadera y duradera. El Papa Pío XI instituyó la
Solemnidad de Cristo Rey como una forma de recordar al mundo
que rechace Cristo, ya sea en la vida privada o en la vida pública,
es rechazar nuestra única esperanza, y aceptar lo es aceptar la
salvación.
As Pope Pius IX wrote: ...When once men recognize, both
in private and in public life, that Christ is King, society will
at last receive the great blessings of real liberty, well-ordered
discipline, peace and harmony... That these blessings may
be abundant and lasting in Christian society, it is necessary
that the kingship of our Savior should
be as widely as possible recognized and
understood, and to that end nothing
would serve better than the institution
of a special feast in honor of the
Kingship of Christ.
Como escribió el Papa Pío IX: ... Cuando una vez que los hombres
reconocen, tanto en privado y en la vida pública, que Cristo es el
Rey, la sociedad por fin recibir las grandes bendiciones de la
libertad verdadera, la disciplina bien ordenada, la paz y la
armonía ... Que estas bendiciones pueden ser abundante y
duradera en la sociedad cristiana, es necesario que la realeza
de nuestro Salvador debe ser lo más amplia
posible reconocida y comprendida, y para
ello nada mejor que servir a la institución
de una fiesta especial en honor de la
Reinado de Cristo.

Our Lord Jesus Christ,
King of the Universe
“I was hungry and you gave
me food, I was thirsty and you
gave me drink.”
— Matthew 25:35
Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe
That we are generous with our gifts of time, talent and
treasure when it’s not always convenient for us.
“…as you did it to one of the least of my brethren, you
did it to me” – Matthew 25:40
Most of us are generous when it’s convenient for us.
We are generous when we have the time or the money.
But, generosity is the opposite of that. It means giving
of one’s time, money, compassion, forgiveness, mercy
when it’s not convenient; when it’s not on our schedule, but on the other person’s schedule.
Nuestro Señor Jesucristo, Rey del Universo
Para que seamos generosos con nuestros dones de
tiempo, talento y tesoro cuando aunque no sea siempre
conveniente para nosotros.
“…en cuanto lo hicieron a uno de estos hermanos
míos, aun a los más pequeños a mi lo hicieron” –
Mateo 25:40
La mayoría de nosotros somos generosos cuando nos
es conveniente. Somos generosos cuando tenemos el
tiempo o el dinero. Pero, la generosidad es todo lo
contrario a esto. Significa dar nuestro tiempo, dinero,
compasión, perdón, misericordia cuando no es conveniente, cuando no está en nuestros planes, sino que en
los planes de otra persona.
THANKSGIVING
One act of thanksgiving, when things go wrong with us,
is worth a thousand thanks when things are agreeable to
our inclinations.
ACCIÓN DE GRACIAS
Un acto de acción de gracias, cuando las cosas marchan
mal para nosotros, vale más que miles de gracias cuando
las cosas van conforme a nuestras inclinaciones.
Nuestro Señor Jesucristo,
Rey del Universo
“Estuve hambriento y me
dieron de comer,
sediento y me dieron
de beber”.
— Mateo 25:35

EL REBAÑO DE JESÚS
as 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.
L
S
THE LORD’S FLOCK
heep 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 never-ending
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.
C
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
oming to the end of the Church year, we can
wonder how we got “extreme uncƟon” out of “anoinƟng
of the sick.” “Extreme” comes from a LaƟn phrase, in
extremis, which in English refers to the last struggle of a
dying person. “Last rites” is a phrase in common usage,
and refers to the fact that years ago everyone waited unƟl the
last crisis of illness to summon the priest. The goal of
anoinƟng had always been healing and forgiveness, but in
Ɵme it began to be seen as a preparaƟon for death. In a hard
world, almost anything from a hangnail to a sneeze could be
life-threatening, so perhaps the change was inevitable. The
emphasis on the penitenƟal aspects was heightened, even to
the odd pracƟce of Rome in the twelŌh century, when the sick
person was sprinkled with ashes mixed with holy water and
given a hair shirt as a sign of penance.
The reformers thankfully overlooked some of these
oddiƟes of history, and today the sacrament of the sick is
much more generously applied to persons in a wide
range of situaƟons. SƟll, it is a sacrament of
reconciliaƟon, and for that reason is not celebrated for an
infant or toddler, although there is a rite for a visit to a sick
child not including anoinƟng or Communion.
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.
TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
l 23 de noviembre de 1927, un pelotón de soldados
conducía al jesuita mexicano Miguel Agustín Pro
Juárez al paredón de fusilamiento. Uno de ellos le
susurraba “perdóneme”. Miguel le respondió que no
sólo lo perdonaba, sino que le daba las gracias por darle
la oportunidad de dar testimonio de su fe derramando su
sangre por Cristo. Días antes había sido arrestado y acusado de intento de asesinato contra el presidente mexicano Álvaro Obregón. En realidad su delito era el de bautizar niños, bendecir matrimonios, llevar la comunión a
los enfermos y escuchar la confesión de los arrepentidos.
E
Miguelito nació en 1891 y entró al noviciado jesuita en
1914, al mismo tiempo que el gobierno mexicano comenzaba una persecución en contra de la Iglesia. Debido a esta
situación, Miguel tuvo que hacer su formación religiosa
fuera de México. Apenas pudo, regresó a su nación como
sacerdote e hizo su pastoral a escondidas, sabiendo muy
bien que podía ser martirizado.
Miguel decía a sus amigos que al morir iría al cielo y si
se encontraba con santos resecos, bailaría un jarabe tapatío hasta hacerles sonreír para Cristo Rey.
